Senior Mental Health Practitioner (MH / LD Nurse)
Devon Partnership NHS Trust View all jobs
Posted 19 day(s) ago
Reference: 2347742
Job summary
We are seeking a dynamic, highly motivated & enthusiastic Mental Health or Learning Disability Nurse for a Senior Mental Health Practitioner (MHP) post with the Forensic Intellectual and Neurodevelopmental disorder team (FIND) based at Easby House.
The FIND Team is managed within the Secure Services directorate in Devon Partnership NHS Trust. This role is in the FIND team which is based in the Community Forensic Services (CFS). The CFS is comprised of three teams including the Specialist Community Forensic team (SCFT), FIND and the Forensic Personality Disorder service (FPDs). Since 2021 the CFS have been working to integrate the management of the SCFT, FIND and FPD teams to ensure a single point of entry to the service, centralising triage and gatekeeping functions. This is an exciting opportunity to join our FIND team at one of the country's most respected providers of secure mental health services.
FIND aims to reduce length of stay for secure care patients with a primary diagnosis of Learning Disability (LD), Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) and/or Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) and reduce the use of out of area or specialist placements in order to support / facilitate the use of South West network beds. This involves the development of a structured approach of direct work with patients (e.g. intervention, specialist assessment, case management) as well as indirect work with staff teams (e.g. consultation, training, supervision).
- The scheduledinterview date is 20th July 2026
Main duties of the job
The post holder will be a core member of a multi-disciplinary FIND service, and will be responsible for taking an active role in carrying out the functions of that team; including carrying a case load of varying complexity, with a principle focus on service users who would benefit most from an specialist forensic LD and A intervention. The post holder will provide expert assessment and treatment for people with complex difficulties and their carers. This will include recovery care co-ordination (design and co-ordination of treatment packages that are personalised and evaluated).
The post holder will deliver care management, assessment, care planning, review and evaluation. The liaison with a wide range of statutory and non-statutory agencies is central to this role. The post holder will contribute to the clinical leadership of the team, providing supervision for other members and participating in team and service development, and evaluation.
You will often work under pressure and without direct supervision, so we are looking for someone confident and capable. You will prioritise tasks, and manage your own workload, providing support for your colleagues where required.
Working as part of Devon Partnership NHS Trust, you will make a difference to peoples lives from the moment you start.
We expect all our staff to embrace this way of working, recognising the equal value of everyone involved in service design and delivery.

What difficulties can be referred to the service?
- Mood and anxiety disorders
- Behavioural and conduct disorders

- Eating disorders
- Psychotic disorders
- Deliberate self-harm and suicidal ideation
- Substance misuse with co-existing mental health needs (dual diagnosis)

Locality Teams in SET CAMHS:
The aim of our SET CAMHS is to respond earlier to children and young people’s needs in order to help prevent, reduce or delay the need for more specialist interventions.

SET CAMHS focuses on the mental health and includes access to self-help tools and services based in schools and the community. We are creating a modern service that fits with children’s lives in a way that best suits them. Key new features include a Children’s Single Point of Access (CSPA) into the service, clear early signposting, and use of digital channels. We are working collaboratively with HCRG (formerly Virgin care) when offering the 'Getting Help' aspect of the Thrive Model.
The service is driven by the principles underpinning the national CYP-IAPT programme (Children and Young People’s Improving Access to Psychological Therapies); evidence based interventions, routine measurement of outcomes, access to high quality training and supervision for professionals and true co-production with children and young people.

Looking for a Dental Therapist role that offers flexibility as well as purpose?
We're building a brand new Oral Health service in Tower Hamlets and are looking for passionate Dental Therapists to join us. Whether you're looking for full time hours, part time working or term time only working, we'd love to hear from you. We know flexibility matters and we're committed to finding an arrangement that works for you.
This is your opportunity to do more than provide treatment. You'll work directly with children and young people in schools and community settings, delivering preventative, educational and clinical dental care that helps improve oral health, reduce inequalities and create healthier futures. You'll support children to build lifelong healthy habits while helping families access the care they need.
Working alongside school nurses, public health colleagues and a wider multidisciplinary team, you'll play a key role in shaping a new service from the very beginning. From fluoride varnish applications and oral health assessments to supervised toothbrushing programmes and engaging health promotion activities, no two days will be the same.
If you're passionate about prevention, enjoy working with children and want to see the lasting impact of your work across an entire community, this is a role where your skills will genuinely change lives.
Prevent disease. Build confidence. Give children smiles that last a lifetime.
Main duties of the job
Your clinical skills are important, but it's your passion for prevention that will make the biggest difference.
You're someone who believes every child deserves the opportunity to grow up with a healthy smile.

For this role, essentially you'll need:
A BSc or Diploma in Dental Therapy (or equivalent).
Current General Dental Council (GDC) registration.
A Certificate in Fluoride Varnish Application.
Experience delivering clinical dental therapy services and preventative dental care.
Experience working with children and families.
Knowledge of public health approaches to improving children's oral health.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to engage children, young people and families.
The ability to work independently and collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team.
A commitment to safeguarding, equality, diversity and delivering high quality, compassionate care.
Experience delivering supervised toothbrushing programmes, working with children who have additional needs or vulnerabilities, delivering fluoride varnish programmes, or qualifications in oral health education or public health would be advantageous but aren't essential.
About us
Compass is committed to safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults.
