We are currently recruiting on behalf of a leading NHS service for an experienced Senior Mental Health Nurse to join their Inclusion team, delivering specialist care within prison environments across Staffordshire and Worcestershire.
Hourly PAYE rate: £25
Senior Mental Health Nurse (Band 6) (Doesn't have to be a Registered RMN)
This is a unique opportunity to work in a challenging yet rewarding setting, supporting service users with a wide range of mental health needs. The role involves managing your own caseload, carrying out assessments, developing care plans, and delivering tailored interventions across wellbeing, primary and secondary mental health. You'll also play a key part in coordinating care, preparing aftercare, and supporting smooth transitions back into the community.
The successful candidate will work as part of a multi-disciplinary team alongside prison healthcare staff, substance misuse teams, GPs, probation, and other agencies, ensuring a holistic approach to care. You will need strong clinical skills, excellent communication, and the resilience to work effectively in a secure environment.
To be considered, you must be a Registered Nurse (NMC) with solid experience in mental health care. Additional training in CBT, motivational interviewing, or solution-focused approaches would be an advantage. Experience of supervision or line management is also desirable. Clinicians must also hold valid Prison Clearance.
This role offers the chance to develop professionally while making a real impact in an often-overlooked area of healthcare. If you are passionate about delivering high-quality mental health support in a challenging but fulfilling environment, we would love to hear from you
