Within our mental health services we have wards caring for anyone requiring inpatient care, providing wonderful opportunities and facilities for patients as well as having Section 136 suites in two site across the county to provide a place of safety which the police can bring people to.
You will carry out all duties required from a registered mental health nurse on an acute inpatient area alongside being a named nurse for the section 136 suite, working alongside a multi-disciplinary team to carry out a diverse range of duties, ensuring the section 136 suite is least restrictive option.
We’re an NHS community and mental health provider Trust based in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We deliver community and hospital-based care to improve people’s physical and mental health. We also provide specialist support to people with dementia or a learning disability.
We are a people organisation and people matter to us. As part of the team, you'll help support the health and wellbeing of the people who live and visit this beautiful part of the UK.
Over 4,000 people make up the Trust. This includes doctors, nurses, therapists, plus admin and support staff.
We work in people's homes, in community clinics and bases. Some staff work from one of our 13 community hospitals. Our aspiration is to have great people, provide great care, be a great place to work and a great partner.
Approximately 568,000 people live here. A third of people who live in Cornwall are supported by acute hospital services in Devon. As a result, we also work closely with our partners in Devon. In the summer, and during other holidays lots of people choose to visit the area. This increases the numbers of people who use our services.
