As Nurse Consultant in this brilliant brand-new role at Home Group, you’ll help us shape the strategic direction of mental health nursing practice across our Transforming Care services, creating frameworks and extending the boundaries of excellence in our nursing care. As senior leader, you’ll deliver and oversee specialist nursing assessments, formulations and interventions, managing clinical risk to aid the transition of care and support for customers with high risk needs.

You’ll ensure all practice is provided within legal, professional and ethical boundaries including the Treatment of Disease, Disorder and Injury.

You’ll report to Nic, our Director of Clinical Practice, who you’ll find outside of work getting out in the country for walks with her daughter and small but powerful Cavapoo. She has amazing vision for developing the future of new models of care and would love you to join her and the team on this journey.
