We are looking for a compassionate and motivated nurse with a genuine interest in working with older adults living with functional mental health conditions. Experience in this area is desirable but we also welcome applications from newly qualified nurses, for whom we offer a comprehensive preceptorship programme.

We are also co-located with our established, Dementia Rapid Response Team.



This vacancy is open to newly qualified staff to which we will offer a preceptorship programme.



The service covers 365 days a year, the ability to work weekends and bank holidays is essential.



We cover a large geographical area therefore the successful candidate will require access to a vehicle to carry out this role.



The post holder will be clinically responsible for supporting the delivery of a flexible, responsive local service within the community.



You will work collaboratively with colleagues, key partners and those within the local community to develop services to meet the mental health needs of the community.



The post holder will employ a wide range of skills, building on and developing their expertise and actively seeking advice and collaboration with issues which may not be readily within their sphere of competence.



Professional development and further learning is encouraged and you will receive robust clinical and managerial supervision, along with wider support and training in-house within the team.
