Job overview
Are you passionate about mental health care and looking for an exciting opportunity to join a supportive community mental health team? Look no further!
We are currently seeking Registered Mental Health Nurses to become part of our dedicated Community Mental Health Team. Based at either Saffron House or Amersham Health Centre, our team is committed to providing exceptional care and treatment to adults with mental health challenges. Our goal is to deliver patient-centered care of the highest quality, while supporting our staff in their roles and fostering their professional growth.
This role carries an incentive premium of £3,500 which will be paid in instalments over an 18th month period. Please note that this scheme is not open to existing employees of Oxford Health and is subject to a claw back clause.
As part of the Chiltern CMHT Adult Mental Health Team, you will work alongside a multidisciplinary team that includes medical professionals, psychological therapists, social workers, occupational therapists, RMNs, and support workers. We also collaborate with third-sector workers who specialise in employment, housing, and social needs. To bridge the gap between patients and clinicians, we have also introduced Peer Support Workers who bring the invaluable perspective of lived experience.
Main duties of the job
In this role, you will be part of a close-knit team working together to deliver exceptional care to our patients.
We are looking for someone who works well in a team, but also has the ability to work independently using their own initiative. The successful candidate will have excellent interpersonal skills, a strong understanding of mental health and the impact this can have on a person’s wellbeing.
You will need to be organized, flexible and committed to delivering the highest possible care to our client group. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, as well as good lT skills, are essential. Ideally, you will have experience working in adult mental health services and understand the challenges that working with this client group brings. However, if you have transferrable skills and are motivated to learn about our client group we would encourage you to apply.
We can offer you regular supervision and Personal Development Reviews and ongoing professional development through training (including the possibility of applying for AMHP training). You will have the opportunity to mentor students. There is excellent team-working, supportive colleagues and a friendly working environment.
We would encourage you to give us a call to discuss the role and we very much welcome visits from interested applicants
