Would you like to be part of an exciting opportunity?

We are looking to implement the new role of Mental Health Nurse into our Occupational Health provision.

As an experienced Registered Mental Health Nurse, you could be involved in setting up this new element to our service.


We are looking for an experienced Mental Health Nurse who would carry out case management and provide consultations for employees who have been referred into the service in relation to their mental health. You would provide recommendations to the manager regarding possible adjustments and refer the employee onto therapy as appropriate.


As this is a new service you will be instrumental in the development of the role and appropriate care pathways. This is not a crisis intervention service or a replacement for NHS services but very much a proactive support to help employees remain in or return to work following a period of ill health.


We have a wide range of wellbeing information, support and initiatives available to our employees and as part of this role we would like you to contribute to this mental wellbeing information.


You will be provided with the necessary Occupational Health training, support and Clinical Supervision.


One full-time role is available, working over Monday to Friday 8.30am - 4.30pm. We are a small friendly team consisting of Occupational Health Nurses and Administrators working in the purpose built Occupational Health department within Bickerstaffe House in Blackpool town centre. Working at the Council you will have access to a full range of benefits, Employee Assistance Programme and wellbeing initiatives.


For an informal chat about the role, or to arrange a visit, please contact: occupationalhealth@blackpool.gov.uk or telephone 01253 478241.
