We have an opportunity for a motivated and passionate Band 6 RMN's to become part of our established team within Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.

We work with individuals with severe and enduring mental health illness from the ages of 18 to 75. You will work with a group of service users who have complex psychosis and high levels of need to facilitate high quality and effective integrated health and social care interventions.

We are a team who will recognise & value the expertise, experience and knowledge that each individual practitioner brings, and we have a genuine commitment to your career development and continued learning. Our mission is to provide a safe and empowering environment steeped in a caring, culture of acceptance, curiosity and empathy.

As a Community Mental Health Team member, you will have both a positive outlook and sense of humour to manage the challenges of working in a busy locality that extends to seaside towns and rural locations. You will have knowledge of general mental health problems, and the impact this may have on individuals and their treatment.
