We are seeking a skilled and compassionate Band 6 Registered Mental Health Nurse to join the Regents Health Primary Care Network in the North Westminster Mental Health Hub.
You will be an integral member of a multidisciplinary community mental health team, providing assessment, treatment and psychosocial interventions to people with a range of mental health needs, supported through recovery focused community care. The role involves holding a defined caseload and working collaboratively with service users, carers and partner agencies to promote recovery, reduce risk and support people to live well in the community.
This is an opportunity to work within a supportive, forward thinking hub environment that values clinical autonomy, professional development and high-quality, person-centred care.
Main duties of the job
The post holder will take responsibility for the assessment, collaborative formulation, treatment and ongoing review of a defined caseload of people with mental health needs, working in a person centred and recovery focused way.
You will deliver psychosocial interventions, or be supported and trained to develop these skills, and contribute to the wider clinical aspects of care including assessment, physical health monitoring, health promotion and healthy lifestyle advice. The role may also include facilitating or co facilitating therapeutic and wellbeing focused groups as part of the hub's offer.
You will undertake comprehensive psychosocial and risk assessments, develop and implement risk management and crisis plans, and work proactively with service users and carers to manage distress, reduce relapse and support people to remain well in the community.
You will support medication management, including depot clinics where required, and promote holistic care that recognises the importance of both mental and physical health.
You will work closely with multidisciplinary colleagues, inpatient services, Home Treatment Teams, GPs, social care and voluntary sector partners to ensure coordinated and compassionate care.
About us
At the Regents Health PCN Community Mental Health Hub, we are committed to creating a supportive, inclusive and reflective working environment where people feel valued, listened to and able to do their best work.
You will be part of a multidisciplinary team that prioritises recovery focused, person centred care and values collaboration, curiosity and compassion. We recognise that high-quality care depends on staff wellbeing, and we actively support flexible working, regular supervision and protected space for reflection and learning.
We are committed to developing our nurses and supporting career progression. This includes access to role relevant training such as psychosocial interventions, physical health skills including venepuncture and ECGs, opportunities to develop leadership capability, and pathways to broaden or specialise your practice within community mental health.
As part of CNWL, you will also benefit from a wide range of staff wellbeing resources, award winning staff networks, and an extensive NHS benefits package designed to support your work life balance and personal wellbeing.
