NHS Borders are delighted to invite applicants to join our Adult Community Mental Health Service as Band 6 Mental Health Nurse. This is a fantastic career move and brings with it a lifestyle changing opportunity to work in the Scottish Borders and experience the benefits of rural life with very easy access to major cities such as Edinburgh (37 Miles) Glasgow (75 miles) and Newcastle (75 miles).
Scottish Borders Adult Community Mental Health Service aim to deliver person centred, goal orientated, recovery focused and strength based care within our community. As we progress with our transformation programme we see this an exciting opportunity to support the development of our services and indeed the way we support and care for people experiencing mental health conditions within the community.
We are seeking a highly motivated individual who can demonstrate strong leadership and clinical skills to support adult services. Ideally experience of working within community mental health would be advantageous and a sound knowledge of current clinical practice essential. We hope to provide the landscape for development and training in return. The service operates Monday to Friday 9 – 5.

To work in the United Kingdom, there is a legal requirement for an individual to demonstrate that they have the relevant permission to work in the country. This permission is, without exception, granted by the UK Visas and Immigration Service.
As part of the pre-employment checks for a preferred candidate, NHS Scotland Boards will check your entitlement to work in the UK. It can be evidenced through a number of routes including specific types of visa as well as EU settled and pre-settled status. To find out more about these routes of permission, please refer to the GOV.UK website here.
For specific types of post, if you do not have the necessary eligibility to work in the UK, it might be possible (though not guaranteed) to secure sponsorship via a UK Skilled Worker/Health & Care Worker Visa. However, this is only possible if the employer is a licenced Sponsor, and if the post does not fall below the current minimum salary threshold or ‘going rate’.
It is ESSENTIAL that you have checked that you either already have an appropriate right to work in the UK or that the post would be eligible to be sponsored BEFORE submitting your application form.
NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.
