Would you like to do a job that makes a difference every day, using your skills, experience, and compassion to help women with their mental health in the perinatal period?

Would you like to live in Cornwall? A county of outstanding natural beauty with its endless rugged coastlines, beautiful countryside, and unbeatable beaches. Attracting millions of visitors each year, this could be your chance to move here permanently and make a difference to families in our community.

Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is passionate about promoting good mental health and wellbeing. Our Specialist Perinatal Mental Health team has been growing over the past 9 years to provide a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to caring for women experiencing mental health illness during the perinatal period. We are a county wide service with a base currently in Truro. However, due to expansion we are seeking an additional base in the east of the county. It is expected that you will work in either the west or the east of the county with a base that is near to your geographical work/home area.

The team consists of qualified and trainee nurses, occupational therapists, social workers, nursery nurses, a health visitor, psychologists, psychiatrist, administration, and peer support workers led by a dedicated service lead, supported by deputies. The team work collaboratively to support recovery and improving bonds with baby in the crucial first 1001 days.

Many women on caseload see multiple members of the team to ensure we deliver a holistic, high quality service that is safe, person-centred, and focused on family and recovery. Regular 121, group support and supervision are provided, along with CPD and regular training opportunities to enable you to feel assured and grow in your role.

We are looking for a dynamic and solution-focused team player who is passionate about high quality care for women and their babies across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. You will be outcomes driven and able to work collaboratively with our organisational partners in IAPT (Increasing Access to Psychological Therapies), Infant mental health, Special Parenting Service, Maternity Services, health visiting, the MBU (Mother and Baby Unit) in Devon, and other partnership agencies to deliver a unified and safe service to expectant and new mothers, their babies and partners.

This an exciting time to join the team as we continue to grow and develop to deliver a high-quality mental health response to women in the perinatal period. Your experience, compassion and enthusiasm could be just what we need.

The post holder will need to be confident in completing assessments and delivering mental health interventions on the whole in person. They will also be required to support and work collaboratively with our colleagues within the SPMH team and the other organisations and teams previously listed above.

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 4,000 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 13 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 increases the numbers of people who use our services.
