Job summary

Join the North East Derbyshire CMHT

Are you a Mental Health Nurse looking for an exciting opportunity to make a real difference? We invite you to join our well-established and innovative community mental health team based in Killamarsh, North East Derbyshire. This role has close working relationships with Bolsover CMHT and is managed by the same Team manager. There would be some expectation of cross working over the two bases as this interaction continues to develop.

Our multidisciplinary team delivers both short-term and long-term interventions for adults with complex mental health needs, offering a diverse and rewarding role in a supportive and forward-thinking environment.

What We Offer:

• Robust clinical and managerial supervision

• Ongoing training and development opportunities

• A supportive environment to help you grow professionally and explore your areas of interest

• A strong emphasis on staff wellbeing

• A welcoming, inclusive, and supportive team culture

What We're Looking For:

We're seeking warm, engaging, and person-centred professionals who are committed to empowerment and recovery for service users and their families. To be considered, you must:

• Hold a Mental Health Nursing qualification

• Have post-qualification experience in mental health

• Be a strong communicator who demonstrates respect, dignity, and compassion

Main duties of the job

• Provide specialist mental health nursing interventions to adults with severe and enduring mental health needs within a community setting.

• Manage a defined caseload of service users, delivering recovery-focused, person-centred care.

• Undertake comprehensive assessments, risk assessments, and develop and review care plans under the Care Programme Approach (CPA).

• Contribute to and support the team's duty system, responding to urgent or unplanned needs.

• Work collaboratively as part of a multidisciplinary team, maintaining strong communication with colleagues, service users, carers, and partner agencies.

• Act as a mentor and role model to junior staff and students, offering supervision and guidance.

• Maintain accurate and timely clinical records in line with trust policies and professional standards.

• Support service users in their recovery journey, promoting independence, social inclusion, and overall well-being.

• Apply up-to-date knowledge of relevant NMC standards and ensure high standards of professional practice.

• Travel independently across the North East Derbyshire area to meet the needs of the service.
