Job summary

Are you a Registered Mental Health Nurse with a passion for Perinatal Mental Health?

Are you looking for a rewarding role, allowing you to utilise your skills to make a real difference to women suffering from mental health issues associated with pregnancy and childbirth in Oxfordshire?

Oxfordshire Specialist Perinatal Mental Health Service is a community-based, forward thinking service. We are committed to delivering quality patient interventions to meet the needs of our service users. Our service works with women at pre-conception, during pregnancy & postnatally where mental health concerns have been identified.

We are devoted to improving the outcomes for mothers, babies and families by providing assessment and treatment of the woman's needs. Our service provides perinatal care across the beautiful county of Oxfordshire and this role will cover across the county. It is therefore essential that you are able to travel to service user's homes and travel freely to meet the needs of the service so you should have access to a car for work purposes.

As a Perinatal Psychiatric Nurse , you would be undertaking comprehensive mental health assessments, manage a complex caseload, support by taking part in the duty rota and provide practical advice and support including family work, psychological interventions and overseeing any safeguarding concerns, both adult and child protection.

Main duties of the job

In this role, you will hold responsibility for the clinical triage of service users who access Mental Health Services during pregnancy and in the first-year post-partum and signposting on to the most appropriate service which may include follow up with the perinatal mental health team.

We'll also need you to conduct social and health assessments involving assessment of risk within the support framework of the perinatal mental health team and in a location acceptable to the birth parent, usually via digital consultation or within the service user's home, using the perinatal assessment document.

We'll need you to ensure that each assessment is conducted collaboratively in consultation/agreement with the birth parent and their carer, where available, and the assessment will be informed by the wider multidisciplinary team involved with the birth parent during the perinatal period, including, but not exclusively midwifery and health visiting.

Job responsibilities

The main office is based in Slade House, Headington but this is admin space only. Our service covers the whole of Oxfordshire and clinical work is completed in patients homes and/or at AMHT clinical base's. Therefore, access to transport for business use is essential for the role.
