  Job summary

  The East Neighbourhood Mental Health Team (NMHT) is a lively multi-disciplinary community based team. We provide specialist assessment, treatment and care to working age adults with severe mental illness, based at Brighton General Hospital.

  We are looking for a Registered Mental Health Nurse, Occupational Therapist or Social Worker with existing experience and knowledge of supporting adults with complex mental health conditions.

  This is an exciting time for community mental health services as we transform to a new, integrated, neighbourhood model with our primary care and voluntary sector partners. We are looking for innovative practitioners who can embrace the new model and put it into practice.

  This post offers the Trust's £2,000 Golden Hello or Relocation Incentive for Band 5-6 Nurses & Practitioners, (pro rata and subject to terms and conditions; please see attached Protocol Document for full details).

  Main duties of the job

  The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work within a service which prides itself on its commitment and provision of high-quality care. This will be a challenging and very busy role, but one which will be very rewarding.

  A passion for working with people to support individual recovery goals and to work collaboratively with the service users, their carers, colleagues within the third sector, GPs and the wider mental health service within the Trust is essential.

  About us

  We welcome applications from practitioners who are highly motivated, resilient, enthusiastic, creative, flexible, and resourceful.

  You will receive high quality supervision, support and training to further develop your skills and experience in a community mental health setting.

  The service operates Monday to Friday, from 9am to 5pm. Although, we understand the importance of work life balance and would welcome discussions around flexible working arrangements as required.

  Brighton and Hove is a vibrant and exciting place to live and work offering a lively city life with the opportunity to get away from it all to the South Downs National park just on the doorstep.

• 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.
