Watford Hertfordshire, United Kingdom Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We are pleased to confirm due to a recent promotion we are looking to recruit a Community Mental Health Nurse to join our secondary care service. However, you will work flexibly away from the base for most of the working time seeing people in the own homes, in care homes or in GP surgeries. The administrative aspect of the job can be done remotely from home, from other sites, or at Colne House.


In this role you will be required to take responsibility for the assessment of care needs, the development, implementation and evaluation of programmes of care and the setting of standards of care and management of a defined caseload, including liaison with other agencies and, where appropriate, the supervision, development and teaching of staff and/or students. You will also act as care co-ordinator to a case load of service users, ensuring the care plan is met at all times.



All staff should comply with the Trust's Anti-Discriminatory Statement, Employee Charter, Trust Policies and Procedures, Code of Conduct and Equality and Diversity.
As the band 6 Community Nurse, you will be expected to:


Be within the Community Team, and will have close links with our Crisis Function, Care Home Function, Early Memory Diagnosis and Support Service and Therapies - along with all the disciplines that work across and within them.
Develop working relationships and links with GPs and other professionals and organisations that work within your PCN so that the people you see get the right care at the right time.
You will have regular supervision, and an appraisal that looks to support your development, helping you to think about what you would like to do after the fixed term ends.
Car driver (unless you have a disability as defined by the Equality Act 2010 which prevents you from driving).

If you are passionate about caring for older people in the community, then we are the right team for you.
Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (HPFT) is an outstanding organisation with ambitions to match. We are one of just five mental health trusts to achieve an overall rating of 'Outstanding' from the Care Quality Commission, and our aim is to be the leading provider of mental health and specialist learning disability services in the country.


Our family of over 3500 members of staff provide health and social care for over 400,000 people with mental ill health, physical ill health and learning disabilities across Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and Norfolk, delivering these services within the community and several inpatient settings. We also deliver a range of nationally commissioned specialist services including Tier 4 services for children and young people, perinatal services, plus medium and low secure learning disabilities services.


The care we provide makes a fantastic difference to the lives of our service users, their families and carers - everything is underpinned by choice, independence and equality, with our Trust values embedded throughout:


Would you like work with us to ensure our service users live the fullest lives possible they can? Be responsible for the full assessment of care needs and risk assessment of service users presenting with a wide variety of clinical conditions.
Responsible for the development, implementation and evaluation of programmes of care, without direct supervision (though clinical supervision is implemented as per policy to support you).
