The Crisis Response and Home Treatment Team based at Hellesdon Hospital, Norwich, is seeking ambitious Senior Registered Mental Health Nurses to join our existing team. Our diverse team, ranging from assistant practitioners to advanced nurse practitioners, offers you the opportunity to develop your skillset while working alongside and learning from senior clinicians in a varied nursing role. We are proactive and highly skilled at managing risk and supporting service users in Norwich, South, North, and Central Norfolk who are presenting in crisis. We're passionate about providing alternatives to hospital admissions, so you can expect to undertake rewarding, intensive work.
As a senior nurse within the team, you will have a range of responsibilities including shift coordination, triaging, assessments, and working in home treatment within a community setting, without solely holding a caseload. We split the team geographically and take equal responsibility for caseloads, so you will not hold one independently. Whether you have experience from an acute or community setting, it is important to recognize acute presentations and have a good understanding of the local mental health system. If you enjoy working with high-risk cases and are looking to develop as an autonomous, confident practitioner, then we would love to hear from you!
