What is it like to be a Mental Health Nurse in a community setting at MPFT? - YouTube

The Neighbourhood’s are guided by collective leadership, providing evidence-based psychological and medical interventions to patients with mental health difficulties. The patient’s journey is guided by psychological formulation of his or her presenting needs and difficulties, which subsequently inform the development of a plan of care for the patient. We draw from evidence-based interventions to provide high quality and effective interventions. The Duty Worker will be able to use these to guide their interactions and interventions.

Support with settling into the team and developing into the role.

Right from the start of joining the team, a clear and ongoing conversation about your skills and personal career progression, which is managed through the Trust’s appraisal process.

A commitment to supporting you to remain up to date with your practice and develop skills through formal and informal training.

Regular, high quality clinical and managerial supervision.

Warm, friendly and supportive colleagues.

Collective leads who are committed to the psychological and physical wellbeing of staff in the pathway.

A continual commitment to embrace lean methodology to improve the quality of the services provided for patients/their carers and the experience of staff working within the pathway.

You will need to have up to date knowledge on mental health service delivery frameworks, including working confidently within NICE guidelines. Your role will involve working closely with other partners, agencies, carers, service users, families and the local community, ensuring continuity of service is provided at a high level.

If you are successful in this post you will work as part of a high skilled multi-disciplinary team which includes nursing colleagues, occupational therapists, social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, support workers and peer support workers. As a band 6 you will be expected to take an active lead within the team providing supervision to Band 5 and support workers and other more junior members of the team.

You will also be required to have access to a suitable transport to cover a large geographical area for work purposes.
