Be the Mental Health Leader Patients Need - Right at the Heart of Primary Care

We are recruiting a part-time Enhanced Practice Mental Health Nurse to join our established, experienced, and forward thinking team for 20 hours per week.

Are you passionate about transforming mental health support where people live, work, and thrive? Were looking for a dedicated Registered Mental Health Nurse to join our innovative, compassionate, and community-focused team. In this role, you will support people with mild to moderate mental health needs right at the heart of primary care where early support can have the greatest impact.

You will work alongside GPs, Physiotherapists, Clinical Pharmacists, Occupational Therapists, Podiatrists, Social Prescribers, and other allied professionals to offer joined-up care that puts patients first.
