Job Description
Shape the Future of Compassionate Mental Health Care
Are you a Registered Mental Health Nurse ready to take the next meaningful step in your career? Whether newly qualified or highly experienced, this is your opportunity to work in an environment where recovery, dignity, and person-centred care are at the heart of everything.
At Foss Park Hospital, care is delivered differently — with innovation, collaboration, and a strong focus on holistic wellbeing. You’ll join a forward-thinking nursing workforce with clearly defined career pathways, structured development programmes, and the support you need to thrive.
Student nurses expecting NMC registration within the next three months are encouraged to apply. A structured preceptorship programme and full induction will help you transition confidently into your role.
Your Role in the Team

- Delivering comprehensive nursing care, including medication administration
- Undertaking physical health monitoring and clinical observations
- Providing meaningful one-to-one therapeutic engagement
- Coordinating shifts and, where appropriate, acting as Nurse in Charge
- Supporting discharge planning to ensure smooth transitions back into the community
You’ll be encouraged to practice autonomously while having consistent access to supervision, learning opportunities, and professional support.
