Job overview
Warrington Recovery Team (Adult Community Hub) are looking to recruit a dedicated and committed B6 Senior Nurse Practitioner to come and join our wonderful, caring and very supportive Team.
We are a highly regarded, well led multi disciplinary service, providing excellent care, treatment and support to adults with significant mental health needs, within the Borough of Warrington.
As a B6 Senior Nurse Practitioner in the Team, you will work as part of an MDT, to provide care, treatment and support, for services users with complex mental health needs. You will work closely with carers and families, and be confident in liaising with our partner agencies, to achieve best outcomes for our service users.
Our office base is Wakefield House and our office hours are currently Mon to Fri 9-5.
Main duties of the job
As a B6 SNP in the Team, you will work as part of an MDT, to provide care, treatment and support, for services users with complex mental health needs.
You will also undertake clinic duties as required and contribute to our office duty on a rota basis.
The role will require you to liaise with other services and work closely with carers and families, alongside our wider partner agencies, to ensure the best outcomes for our service users.
The Team has a strong value base, centred on caring and commitment. You will receive ongoing clinical and management supervision and have opportunities for CPD as part of this role.
Working for our organisation

We offer specialist inpatient and community services that support physical and mental health and specialist inpatient mental health, learning disability, addiction and brain injury services. Mersey Care is one of only three trusts in the UK that offer high secure mental health facilities.
At the heart of all we do is our commitment to ‘perfect care’ – care that is safe, effective, positively experienced, timely, equitable and efficient. We support our staff to do the best job they can and work alongside service users, their families, and carers to design and develop future services together. We’re currently delivering a programme of organisational and service transformation to significantly improve the quality of the services we provide and safely reduce cost as we do so.
