We are looking for a passionate and proactive Registered Mental Health Nurse (RMN) to join our dynamic Community Mental Health Team. This is an exciting and varied role based at our modern, purpose built facility at Cromwell House in Winchester, co‑located with our sister CMHT and other services.

Your primary caseload will include patients registered with GPs in the Winchester area who are under the care of Andover CMHT. This offers a fantastic opportunity to develop your knowledge and build strong working relationships with local Primary Care Networks (PCNs).

As an RMN in our team, you will deliver high quality, holistic care for people with severe and enduring mental illness, oversee physical health monitoring and reporting, and manage depot antipsychotic medication and phlebotomy clinics. You will be expected to work collaboratively with other clinicians and GPs to contribute to annual health reviews, risk assessments and risk management, and achieve key performance indicators. This opportunity also gives you the chance to make a real difference to people's lives through high‑quality, compassionate and integrated care.

Key responsibilities include running the depot and clozapine clinics, holding a small caseload of patients, linking with Andover CMHT through MDT meetings and other relevant forums, and supporting house‑bound patients in the community. As an RMN you will continue to deliver high quality holistic care, oversee physical health monitoring and reporting, and manage depot antipsychotic medication and phlebotomy clinics. Collaboration with other clinicians and GPs to contribute to annual health reviews, risk assessments and risk management, and achievement of key performance indicators remain core expectations. This role offers the chance to make a real difference to people's lives through high quality, compassionate and integrated care.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust provides joined‑up mental and physical healthcare for around two million people across our communities. With over 13,000 staff working in the community and local hospitals, we deliver care at every stage of life, helping people live their best and healthiest lives.

Our mental health services include community‑based support and early intervention in psychosis (EIP) for both adults and young people, alongside a network of specialist inpatient wards covering forensic, learning disability, eating disorder and older person’s care.

We deliver extensive physical health services too, from urgent community response teams helping frail and older patients remain safely at home, to hospitals at home teams providing acute‑level care in familiar surroundings. Our neurological services offer rehabilitation and treatment for conditions including Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, Motor Neurone Disease, Head Injury, Cerebral Palsy and Stroke. Across Hampshire, our community hospitals provide inpatient rehabilitation as a step down from acute care, and our dedicated teams also staff Treetops Sexual Assault Referral Centre in Portsmouth, offering expert, compassionate support.

Everything we do is underpinned by our CARE values of compassion, accountability, respect and excellence.

Further information about the Trust and this role can be found on the Job Description and Person Specification document attached. It is important to us that we ensure our recruitment processes are accessible and inclusive to everyone – if as a potential candidate you are concerned a person specification may prevent or restrict your application for employment as a result of unintentional barriers on the grounds of your sex, race, age, sexual orientation, religion/belief or disability, please initially contact the Trust's Recruitment team – detailed in the advert. The Trust will seek to resolve this issue wherever possible.
