An exciting opportunity has arisen for a highly motivated, skilled and enthusiastic Mental Health Practitioner (Band 6) to join the Local Mental Health Teams (LMHT) is Nottingham City, due to people moving to different teams or changing jobs.

We are looking for applicants from a Nursing, OT, Social Worker or equivalent background with experience of working in Mental Health who are looking at taking the next step in their career to join the team.

If you are a confident experienced clinician looking for a new challenge and would like an opportunity to use your skills working in a busy, rewarding and supportive environment we would like to hear from you.

The LMHTs provide mental health services for adults across Nottinghamshire, bringing together a variety of services, including Assertive Outreach, Community Rehabilitation, Community Occupational Therapy Service, Outpatients, Group Services and clinic based interventions.

We help patients and their families cope with periods of severe mental illness and assess, plan and implement a personal path of recovery. Some of our patients may require short term intervention, and sometimes longer-term care plans will be put in place.

We are seeking an enthusiastic team player, working within a dynamic multi-disciplinary health team, with excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and the ability and experience to manage complex cases in partnership with other agencies. In return, the successful applicant will receive training and support to develop specific therapeutic skill sets to enable them to provide a high-quality service to our patients and their families.

We have a huge variety of opportunities in our expansive Trust covering geographically from South Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire to Leicester, providing mental health inpatient and community services, community health services, forensic mental health services and secure prison healthcare across the East Midlands.
