Mental Health Nurse (Band 6)

We are always looking for enterprising and innovative approaches to the way we provide our services. We are a national centre for telemedicine and introduced telehealth to the UK offender healthcare sector and also provide the service to patients in their care homes. Community matters to us and we are supported by 400 dedicated volunteers and have strong links with Bradford University, Craven College and Leeds City College to ensure we inspire the workforce of the future.

We want to attract staff who embrace our ‘Right Care’ behaviours of compassion, a commitment to quality of care and working together for patients – we want to make these part of our DNA.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced mental health nurse to join the Craven Collaborative Care Team (CCCT) based at Skipton Hospital and provide valuable mental health expertise within a multi-disciplinary interagency integrated service. The aim of the service is to prevent unnecessary hospital admission and support patients to remain at home where ever possible.

As a member of the Collaborative Care Team the post holder is responsible for carrying out a comprehensive mental health assessment of patients in crisis at home and responding with the most appropriate interventions.

The post holder will work closely with other acute and community mental health teams in the area as well as providing educational opportunities for members of the CCCT and community teams.

Secondment opportunities for practitioners with the essential knowledge and skills for this post currently employed by partner organisations will be considered.

Due to the large geographical area access to own transport is vital for this post.

We are committed to equal opportunities and welcome applications from all sections of the community, regardless of any protected characteristics. Reasonable adjustments will be made for disabled applicants where required.

NOTE: This vacancy may close before the advertised closing date if sufficient suitable applications are received.

If you are applying for the vacancy via NHS Jobs please note that your application form will be transferred to the Trac system and all further correspondence regarding your application will be from Trac systems.

If you are offered a position which requires you to undertake a Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) check, Airedale NHS Foundation Trust will administer the DBS check on your behalf and will recover the cost (Enhanced £47.50 or Standard £29.50) from your first full months salary. This is a condition of your employment.

You are encouraged to participate in the DBS Update Service and pay the £13 cost per year.
