Community Mental Health Nurse - Named Worker Role
The North Community Mental Health Service is undergoing an exciting transformation with additional resource allocation to provide ongoing intensive support to the population of Sheffield. This includes working towards a joint approach with Primary Care and the Voluntary Sector, reviewing the CMHT Service Criteria, and working in discreet small teams into local communities leading to a high-quality care standard.
We are looking to recruit a Band 6 Nurse to the North CMHT. A number of our service users require a man as their named worker due to the nature of the service provided, including trauma and risk history. Therefore, we intend to appoint a man to this post as an occupational requirement for this particular post, as we do not have any men in nursing roles in this service.
The successful candidate will be supported with their professional and leadership development through dedicated supervision with highly experienced and motivated team managers, where learning opportunities will be supported and encouraged. From the multi-disciplinary team, we offer regular CPD sessions, and candidates are encouraged to bring their own interests to the team to share and develop their specific interests in mental health. Please note this is a qualified Nursing Vacancy.
You will need to possess excellent communication skills and be able to work independently and as part of the wider team in order to assess, plan, and evaluate care. You should have a positive approach to meeting the needs of our service users and be motivated, empowered, and enthusiastic to both learn and share.
You will also be expected to work as part of the duty system which operates within the general working hours of 09:00 to 17:00 Monday to Friday on a rotational basis. This 'mini team' is supported by other clinical professionals and management.
We are passionate about providing the very best care to the people we support, and we're looking for amazing people who share this passion to join us.
