Are you ready for a new and exciting challenge? Do you want to work in a supportive, dynamic and innovative team? Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership Trust Inpatient mental health services are looking for Band 5 Mental Health Nurses to join our dedicated, highly valued workforce.

We offer a full multi-disciplinary team approach with a dedicated occupational therapist and activity workers on the ward, as well access to other Allied Health Professionals as needed.
The post holder will be required to work within a multi-disciplinary age independent ward and will be based on Larches ward, our male acute treatment ward at St.Michael's Hospital in Warwick. Inpatient services provide a service to people experiencing an acute psychiatric crisis (functional or organic) who require urgent treatment and delivery of required interventions who may be detained under the Mental Health Act, whilst using the least restrictive environment to facilitate recovery.
