Taunton, Somerset, United Kingdom Somerset NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We are thrilled to welcome applications from motivated, compassionate and flexible individuals to join our bank team in supporting our mental health services.


We are looking for staff who are confident, approachable and sensitive to the issues faced by people who are in the acute and challenging phase of their journey towards recovery.


You will be a good communicator, able to demonstrate empathy, be non-judgemental, self-motivated and committed to delivering high-quality patient care.

You will enjoy talking and listening to people and have the patience to spend time with service users to discuss their care and assist them with their daily needs.


We can also offer payment for your bank shifts weekly

Bank Pay is an easy way to automatically get paid a percentage of the money you've already earned from any bank shifts completed the previous week.

It means you don't have to wait until the end of the month for your bank shift pay, giving you more flexibility.


We welcome applications from all aspects of society, however we particularly welcome applications from BAME communities, people with disabilities, LGBT+ community and younger people who are under-represented in Somerset.
