Job overview

This post is open to newly qualified professionals and students who are due to complete their qualification during this calendar year. Successful applicants may receive a conditional offer subject to completion of training and registration.

We have an exciting opportunity for two enthusiastic and highly motivated Mental Health Nurses to join the Community Mental Health Rehabilitation Team (CMHRT). The team is temporarily based at Engineers House on the St Austell Hospital site; however, as we deliver a countywide service, applications are welcomed from across Cornwall.

We are seeking individuals who can demonstrate the Trust’s vision and values in practice and who are passionate about working with people living with complex psychosis. This role offers the opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of service users and their families by delivering high-quality, person-centred care.

The CMHRT provides care, treatment and rehabilitation interventions, focusing on strengths, promoting hope, and building self-esteem and confidence. Our aim is to support service users to achieve their optimum level of functioning, live well in the community, and manage periods of crisis.

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.

Main duties of the job

Work effectively both as a member of the multidisciplinary team and independently as a lone worker, in line with Trust policies.

Provide supervision and support to students and other learners within the team, ensuring practice is compliant with Trust and professional standards.

Maintain an up-to-date professional portfolio, including mandatory training, annual appraisal documentation, and supervision records.

Act as a mentor for student university placements, holding a recognised mentoring qualification or demonstrating willingness to work towards this and attend mentorship updates as required.

Deliver specialist and generic clinical interventions to enhance engagement with services, supporting service users and carers to access treatment that promotes wellbeing and recovery.

Undertake comprehensive assessments and develop holistic, person-centred care plans incorporating positive risk management and evidence-based interventions.

Ensure service users and carers are actively involved in assessment, formulation and care planning, demonstrating awareness of cultural and diversity factors and addressing barriers to accessing care.

Communicate effectively with professionals across disciplines and services, using a whole-team approach, and support service users to clearly and confidently express their needs.

Build and maintain therapeutic relationships that promote engagement and ongoing adherence to agreed care packages.

Working for our organisation

We’re an NHS community and mental health provider Trust based in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We deliver community and hospital-based care to improve people’s physical and mental health. We also provide specialist support to people with dementia or a learning disability.

We are a people organisation and people matter to us. As part of the team, you’ll help support the health and wellbeing of the people who live and visit this beautiful part of the UK.

Over 5,000 people make up the Trust. This includes doctors, nurses, therapists, plus admin and support staff.

We work in people’s homes, in community clinics and bases. Some staff work from one of our 10 community hospitals. Our aspiration is to have great people, provide great care, be a great place to work and a great partner.

Approximately 568,000 people live here. A third of people who live in Cornwall are supported by acute hospital services in Devon. As a result, we also work closely with our partners in Devon. In the summer, and during other holidays lots of people choose to visit the area. This increase the numbers of people who use out services.
