Closing date: 17 June 2026.
We’re looking for a friendly, motivated, and passionate Band 7 Advanced Nurse Practitioner to join our well‑established Adult Community Mental Health Team based in Skipton – a beautiful rural market town often known as the gateway to the Yorkshire Dales.
This is a rewarding role, working across a wide and varied patch that includes both town and countryside communities. You’ll be supporting people with severe and enduring mental health needs through assessment, formulation, care planning, risk management, and prescribing.
What makes this role special is the team you’ll be joining. We are a warm, welcoming, and highly experienced group who pride ourselves on supporting one another. There’s a strong sense of community – both within the team and across the area we serve – and we work closely together to provide the best possible care.
We offer a supportive environment where your development genuinely matters, with opportunities to grow, learn, and progress in your career.
Above all, this role is about making a difference – walking alongside people during some of their most difficult times, while helping them build confidence, resilience, and move toward becoming the best version of themselves.
Interviews will take place on 22 June 2026 at the Craven Centre.
Carry out physical checks prior to prescribing, initiation, and monitoring of medication, and also other medication when necessary.
Work with other members of the team to manage and monitor complex presentations within Craven CMHT.
Prescribe medication within NICE guidance, NMC guidance, and local trust policies.
Work in partnership with service users, families, and carers to achieve identified goals and support recovery and reintegration by adopting a fully holistic approach to needs.
Work in a supported autonomous manner and be able to plan and prioritise workload.
Demonstrate effective networking skills to collaborate with a range of other services and external agencies.
Actively participate in team supervision and support in flexible formats.
Work as part of the leadership team, providing support and cover for the team leader when required.
Everything we do is underpinned by our core values:
We consider a variety of flexible working arrangements to enable staff to balance their work and home lives and support staff by offering a range of benefits, including:
We also proudly pledge our support to the Armed Forces and hold a Bronze Award in the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme.
