Job overview
The East Neighbourhood Mental Health Team (NMHT) is a lively multi-disciplinary community based team. We provide specialist assessment, treatment and care to working age adults with severe mental illness, based at Brighton General Hospital.
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, to cover an 11-month period of maternity leave.
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.

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.
