Enjoying unique lifestyle opportunities, St Helena Island is a self-governing overseas territory of the United Kingdom.

The 28-bed General Hospital in the capital, Jamestown, covers all areas of acute medical and surgical care.

In this vital role you will own a caseload of patients, primarily children and adolescents, who have complex and substantial mental health needs.As a member of the Community Mental Health Team you will ensure high quality individualised care that promotes recovery and maximises independence, displaying sensitivity to patient and relatives’ level of understanding and culture.

You must collaborate with the inclusion team, educational psychologist, teachers and children’s social worker to create a comprehensive approach to child and adolescent mental health care planning and delivery.

As part of the Mental Health Team you will manage psychiatric inpatient admissions under the direction of the MHT Lead and supervise learners and other care providers in the provision of patient care. As you mentor student nurses and other health and social care students you will ensure a stimulating learning environment. You will also offer a mental health consultation and assessment service to other sectors including Health, Education, Safeguarding, Learning Disability, Police and the Prison.
