We are looking for a motivated and compassionate Registered Mental Health Nurse (RMN) with experience of supporting children, young people and adults experiencing mental health difficulties. You will have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, the ability to assess and manage risk, respond to safeguarding concerns, and work effectively both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team. Strong organisational skills and a commitment to improving outcomes for children, young people and families are essential.

As part of our team, you will work within a supportive multidisciplinary environment, receive regular clinical and management supervision, and have access to ongoing professional development and career progression opportunities.

MHST deliver services across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. The successful candidate will be required to travel across the locality to meet service needs.
