Are you passionate about the care of people with psychosis/mood disorders?
An excellent opportunity has arisen for a Mental Health Nurse to join the Assertive Outreach Team.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated individual to join our multi-disciplinary team. Applicants should have an interest in working with individuals who have severe and enduring mental health problems and are difficult to engage. The specific purpose is to deliver care in a collaborative manner that reflects the principles of AOT working, particularly aspects relating to recovery and social inclusion.
The Cheltenham, Tewkesbury and North Cotswolds Assertive Outreach Team provides comprehensive mental health and social care to working age adults.
The service generally runs weekdays between the hours of 9-5, however some weekends, evenings and bank holidays will be needed on a rotational basis, if there is clinical need. Flexible working arrangements will be considered. Any request will be set against genuine operational requirements and limitations and it is not obligatory for a manager to accede to the request.
