Are you a confident, experienced mental health clinician looking for a rewarding challenge?

We are expanding our vital service into a full 24-hour operation, and we’re looking for exceptional practitioners—including Mental Health Nurses—to help us grow.

You’ll be working with both working-age and older adults, utilising your strong clinical skills to create tailored care formulations.

You will have excellent interpersonal skills that you will use to facilitate high quality mental health assessments, and to build good working relationships with both internal and external stakeholders.

You will be committed to the parity of esteem agenda, and work closely with both physical and mental health clinicians to ensure a seamless delivery of care.

It is a 24 hour service 7 days a week at the Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital,  and when required The William Harvey Hospital. 

In return for the above, we offer real commitment to your professional development, and regular supervision within a supportive working environment.
