Are you an enthusiastic and motivated Mental Health Nurse (RMN)?
Are you looking to work in a dedicated and supportive team?
We are looking for two RMN to join our Older Adults Community Mental Health Team (CMHT) based in the South of Oxfordshire. This will be one full-time post with some flexible working considered at the point of request.
We are a friendly, supportive, and proactive team with a culture of high standards of care and any successful applicant will need to be committed to maintaining this. The team works closely with a wide range of internal and external partners including GPs, district nursing, therapy services, ambulatory care, social care, and physical and mental health inpatient providers. We aim to deliver well-coordinated patient care and to share our respective skills and knowledge with one another.
Our team covers a wide geographical area bordering Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, and Wiltshire and so is ideally placed for staff commuting from Swindon, Reading, and Aylesbury. Our main office is in Abingdon, but we have a base in Wallingford and hot desking space for staff covering those areas.
Working as part of our multi-disciplinary team you will be expected to:
- Offer assessments and interventions to our patient group of older adults with mental health needs.
- Manage a caseload of patients with a variety of mental health conditions both functional and organic as well as supporting our duty and triage function.
The MDT is made up of Medical, Nursing, Occupational Therapy, and Psychology colleagues and we highly regard one another's professional background and contribution to the care of our patients. We view supervision as fundamental to the functioning of the team both clinically and in terms of the well-being of our staff.

We have an excellent relationship with local universities and post-graduate training providers. In addition to this you will have access to both local and trust training to support your continuing professional development.
