Community Mental Health Nurse

Job summary

We have set up a new community rehabilitation team to support people with serious mental illness and complex needs. The community mental health rehabilitation team will offer a 7 day service for people living in North Lincolnshire. The service will enable people to receive an intensive community rehabilitation service closer to home in their own community.

The community rehabilitation service will consist of a multi-disciplinary, multi-agency workforce, working collaboratively between Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust (RDaSH) and North Lincolnshire Council to share skills and specialisms to support individuals and improve their quality of life.
