On the front line of mental health
Never before has there been a greater need for experienced mental health nurses and an acknowledgement that mental health issues affect so many people from all walks of life.
Centred is an innovative and forward-looking charity that supports people through mental ill health towards mental well-being across Highland.

We are now looking to hire a Staff Nurse to join our excellent team at the Recovery Centre.

Continuing support for our service users: The Staff Nurse will carry out assessments relevant to each service user, allocate staff time to meet their needs, set goals with them through the planning of individual support, and review progress.
Nurturing the next generation: The Staff Nurse will supervise students and junior staff and assist with the teaching of other staff within the team, becoming a recognised mentor through the University of Highlands and Islands and encouraged to provide support to nursing students.
