We are looking for passionate and compassionate Registered Mental Health Nurses (RMNs) to join our team and play a key role in supporting adults with complex mental health needs within an enhanced supported living environment.
Whether you're an experienced RMN, newly qualified, or looking to complete your Preceptorship, we'd love to hear from you. We are committed to supporting nurses at every stage of their career and providing the guidance, development, and clinical support you need to grow in confidence and make a real difference.
About the Role
As a Registered Mental Health Nurse, you will take clinical responsibility for a caseload of people we support, providing high-quality, evidence-based nursing care tailored to their individual needs.
You will be involved throughout the individual's journey — from assessment and admission through to care planning, ongoing support, and discharge — working closely with the people we support, families, colleagues, and external professionals.
No two days will be the same. You will use your clinical knowledge, therapeutic approach, and positive risk-management skills to support people with complex and changing needs.

- Working within the principles of the Mental Health Capacity Act.
- Clinical documentation and governance.
- Recovery-focused and person-centred care.
You won't be expected to know everything from day one. We want to help you develop into a confident, capable, and compassionate mental health professional.
What You'll Be Doing
Your role will include:
- Completing comprehensive mental health assessments and developing detailed case summaries.
- Developing, implementing, and reviewing care, support, and risk management plans.
- Supporting admissions, transitions, and discharges.
- Managing a caseload of people we support with complex mental health presentations.

- Monitoring and responding appropriately to clinical emergencies and changes in risk.
- Providing clinical input into weekly escalation calls.
- Ensuring all clinical records and documentation are accurate, timely, and maintained in line with professional and legal requirements.
- Supporting safeguarding and ensuring concerns are identified, reported, and managed appropriately.
- Chairing and contributing to care reviews and multi-agency meetings.
- Contributing to audits, governance, research, and continuous service improvement.
- Participating in the out-of-hours on-call rota.
