Do you want to be part of something new and exciting, a person-centred mental health revolution?

Together, we're stronger. Join the multi-agency drive for better mental health care.

An exciting opportunity is now available to join the East Directorate of Kent & Medway NHS Trust,  as one of our Clinical Lead Nurse for the new Mental Health Together and Together Plus services. This is a great time to join the service as it is a time of ongoing transformation of community mental health services.  Clinical lead nurse will provide guidance and leadership to junior staff, liaise with matron and service manager, monitor and maintain quality and standard of care provided to patients. Clinical lead nurse also play a vital role in transferring patient care between Mental health Together and Together plus services. 

The ideal candidate will be a confident and experienced mental health clinician, with a professional qualification in Nursing. You will have experience of having worked in a supervisory position before, and you must be able to demonstrate willingness to ensure that KMPT’s values are realised in the way that the service operates. Post graduate leadership and/or management training is desirable.

What is Mental Health Together?

In Kent and Medway, the community mental health transformation has created a new service model called Mental Health Together.

Mental Health Together will add new roles, as part of a new joined-up model of care which bridges the gap that currently exists between primary (i.e. GPs) and community mental health (i.e. KMPT). It will treat people with complex mental health needs by:

Providing someone with support in a person-centred, holistic way

Removing barriers to access, and thresholds across services working together

Involving service users and carers as equal partners in their care

Building in involvement and co-production at all levels of service design delivery

Delivering needs-led and personalised trauma-informed care.
