An exciting and unique opportunity has arisen within Perran Ward. Based at Longreach House, Perran Ward is an adult acute mental health unit working with service users from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures who are experiencing an acute episode of mental health difficulties.

We are looking to appoint a Senior Staff Nurse who is passionate about providing safe and quality care.

Our emphasis is on providing a therapeutic environment, offering a holistic approach to treatment in a safe and supported space which promotes rehabilitation and recovery.
