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.
Brighton and Hove is a vibrant and exciting place to live and work offering a lively city life with the opportunity to get away from it all to the South Downs National Park just on the doorstep.
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 £2,000 Golden Hello or Relocation Incentive for Band 5-6 Nurses & Practitioners (pro rata and subject to terms and conditions; please see attached Protocol Document for full details).
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work within a service which 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.
You will receive high-quality supervision, support, and training to further develop your skills and experience in a community mental health setting.
The service operates Monday to Friday, from 9am to 5pm. Although, we understand the importance of work-life balance and would welcome discussions around flexible working arrangements as required.
The Trust provides mental health and learning disability care for all ages across Sussex and for children and young people in Hampshire.
