Cragston Court is looking to recruit a Registered Mental Health Nurse to join the team. This is a full‑time, 37.5 hour role working both days and nights on a 6‑week rolling rota.

Located in Blakelow, Cragston Court is a 20‑bed residential service, offering nurse‑led rehabilitation programmes for people living with enduring mental health conditions. We support people coming to us from a hospital environment, and those stepping up from another community placement or their own homes.

You will be part of a compassionate team who are committed to our residents’ wellbeing. We take a personalised approach, using proven therapies to help people move forward with confidence and build a healthier, more fulfilling future. As a Registered Mental Health Nurse
, you will play a key part in their recovery, assisting qualified staff with the assessment and implementation of individual patient care plans, undertaking routine tasks and activities as directed or delegated to facilitate wellbeing, dignity and treatment of residents.

• Deliver prescribed care to a defined group within an agreed framework. Assess, plan and deliver, with the patient and their carer/family, nursing care which takes account of patient choice and wishes and acting as the patient’s named nurse.
• Accurately observe and engage with patients in order to assess need and evaluate progress.
• Monitor and review Nursing Care plans.

Our work is rewarding but can be challenging, so resilience is key. No two days are the same! Your natural empathy will help you support others through both the highs and lows.

You’ll be a Registered Mental Health Nurse (RMN), holding an active NMC registration and having successfully completed a preceptorship programme. You will demonstrate sound knowledge of NMC guidelines, standards, and professional practices, along with a strong commitment to ongoing professional development. You will also possess a positive attitude towards change, quality improvement, and service development, and you are capable of adopting flexible and innovative approaches to practice.

We want you to succeed at Priory and thrive in your role. You will be well supported with regular career conversations. We also offer full training and numerous pathways into leadership and qualified clinical positions to help you shape your career with us.
