Job summary
Our Norfolk & Waveney Perinatal Community Mental Health & Lotus Maternal Therapeutic Outreach Teams won the NSFT Staff Excellence Awards 2022. Each member of the team shows compassion and care towards one another, supporting each other to meet service user needs in a timely way.
You will be part of a multidisciplinary team consisting of Consultant Psychiatrists, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, a Therapies team, Registered Nurses, Social Workers, Assistant Practitioners, Peer Support Workers, Nursery Nurses, Occupational Therapists, Community Team Managers, a Matron and a Service Manager specialising in perinatal mental health.
We have recently restructured the teams to split the County into three patches. The new smaller teams remain supportive to each other and continue to work together closely.
Main duties of the job
We are looking for an experienced B6 Mental Health Nurse with relevant mental health and Community experience to join our Perinatal Community Mental Health team. This vacancy sits within the East and Waveney locality offering a mix of working in our beautiful seaside towns and lush countryside. Within our specialist service you can look forward to a supportive and collaborative team with low manageable caseloads, with friendly, visible and accessible senior staff and medics. We offer specialist perinatal training, line management, caseload and clinical supervision monthly.
As this is a Community post, it is expected most of our work is completed face to face in service user's homes or the Community, so a valid UK full driving licence is essential. Access to your own vehicle is preferred, though pool cars can be booked through the Trust's Hiyacar system.
If you're enthusiastic, person centred and have the skills needed to work in a community setting, we would love to hear from you.

Here at NSFT we pride ourselves on being a welcoming, talented, friendly and supportive team who like nothing better than sharing experiences and learning from each other.

Why work for us? We have challenges as a Trust, but we have ambitious aspirations, are pushing ahead with exciting transformation work and we need dedicated individuals to support us on our journey. We have strong, established professional networks coupled with an exceptional leadership team who will ensure you are truly cared for and cared about.
Why Norfolk and Suffolk?The people here are warm and welcoming, you'll never be far from the beautiful coastline or Broads National Park. We're an hour and a half away from London and have an international airport in Norwich too. Our villages, towns and cities are packed full of history, independent cafes, shops and theatres. We have excellent shopping, eating out, top ranking schooling and affordable house prices too.
