Job overview

We have an opportunity for a motivated and passionate Band 6 RMN's to become part of our established team within  Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.

We work with individuals with severe and enduring mental health illness from the ages of 18 to 75. You will work with a group of service users who have complex psychosis and high levels of need to facilitate high quality and effective integrated health and social care interventions.

We are a team who will recognise & value the expertise, experience and knowledge that each individual practitioner brings, and we have a genuine commitment to your career development and continued learning. Our mission is to provide a safe and empowering environment steeped in a caring, culture of acceptance, curiosity and empathy. We are dedicated to building a compassionate workplace where quality improvement to the services we provide is at the heart of everything we do.

Main duties of the job

This is a community-based role that requires frequent travel to various locations throughout the county including areas that may not be accessible by public transportation. Successful candidates will need to demonstrate how they will manage these travel requirements.

We are looking for Senior Mental Health Professionals who are confident and motivated with excellent communication skills and a professional background in mental health. You will work  as part of a MDT to take a proactive and assertive approach in delivering care to those with complex needs and who struggle to engage with services. You will work across a multi agency system to ensure care is joined up and best met the needs of the individual.

As a Community Mental Health Team member, you will have both a positive outlook and sense of humour to manage the challenges of working in a busy locality that extends to seaside towns and rural locations. You will have knowledge of general mental health problems, and the impact this may have on individuals and their treatment.
