  Job summary

  The North Community Mental Health Service is undergoing an exciting transformation with additional resource allocation to provide ongoing intensive support to the population of the Sheffield, this includes working towards a joint approach with Primary Care and the Voluntary Sector, reviewing the CMHT Service Criteria and working in discreet small teams into local communities leading to a high quality care standard.

  We are looking to recruit Band 6 Nurse to the North CMHT. A number of our service users require a man as their named worker due to the nature of the service provided including trauma and risk history. We intend to therefore appoint a man to this post as a occupational requirement for this particular post because we do not have any men in nursing roles in this service.

The successful candidate will be supported with their professional and leadership development through dedicated supervision with highly experienced and motivated team managers, where learning opportunities will be supported and encouraged. From the multi-disciplinary team, we offer regular CPD sessions and candidates are encouraged to bring their own interests to the team to share and develop their specific interests in mental health. Please note this is a qualified Nursing Vacancy.

  Main duties of the job

  You will need to possess excellent communication skills and be able to work independently and as part of the wider team in order to assess, plan and evaluate care. You should have a positive approach to meeting the needs of our service users and be motivated, empowered and enthusiastic to both learn and share.

  You will also be expected to work as part of the duty system which operates within the general working hours of 09:00 to 17:00 Monday to Friday on a rotational basis. This 'mini team' is supported by other clinical professional and management.

  About us

  We are passionate about providing the very best care to the people we support, and we're looking for amazing people who share this passion to join us.

  What is it that makes our Trust such a special place to work? Well, it's all about the people. Our staff, service users, carers and families all come from such diverse backgrounds and all have expertise and stories to share which we are keen to listen to and learn from.

  We are all very proud of the difference we make to people's lives each and every day and if that's something that you'd like to be part of we'd love to hear from you.

• About the company

  National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
