West Assessment and Treatment Service is a lively multi-disciplinary community-based mental health team. We provide specialist assessment, treatment, and care to working-age adults with severe mental illness based at Mill View Hospital, Hove.
We are looking for a Registered Mental Health Nurse, Occupational Therapist, or Social Worker with existing experience and knowledge of supporting adults with complex mental health conditions.
This is an exciting time for community mental health services as we transform to a new, integrated, neighbourhood model with our primary care and voluntary sector partners. We are looking for innovative practitioners who can embrace the new model and put it into practice.
This post offers the Trust's £4,000 Incentive for band 5-7 Nurses & Practitioners, as well as a relocation package up to a maximum of £8,000 (subject to terms and conditions).
Main duties of the job
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work within a service that prides itself on its commitment and provision of high-quality care. This will be a challenging and very busy role, but one which will be very rewarding.
A passion for working with people to support individual recovery goals and to work collaboratively with the service users, their carers, colleagues within the third sector, GPs, and the wider mental health service within the Trust is essential.
We welcome applications from practitioners who are highly motivated, resilient, enthusiastic, creative, flexible, and resourceful.
