Job description
The team serves the county of Hertfordshire, supporting women with mental health needs, through pregnancy and the postnatal period as well as working closely with maternity staff and providers of primary, secondary and inpatient care.
About you: are you a creative, reflective and flexible Nursery Nurse with a passion for working with women, infants and families in the perinatal period? Are you committed to delivering personalised and meaningful care?
As a Band 4 Community Nursery Nurse you will be an active member of a skilled multi-disciplinary team. You will be working together with your colleagues to provide tailored interventions in the critical perinatal period in our county-wide service. Each Community Nursery Nurse covers a designated locality – not the whole county and we are looking for two Nursery Nurses to cover East and North Herts and West Herts. This means you’ll travel less and work out in the community directly delivering care in people’s homes and the local community; whilst receiving specialist supervision and support from our Senior Parent-Infant Therapist.
Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (HPFT) is an outstanding organisation with ambitions to match. We are one of just five mental health trusts to achieve an overall rating of ‘Outstanding’ from the Care Quality Commission, and our aim is to be the leading provider of mental health and specialist learning disability services in the country.
