Job overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen for 2 Mental Health Nurses to join the busy and dynamic Derby City OA CMHT on a permanent basis.

Main duties of the job
The role of a Registered Nurse can be challenging and varied with the management of a caseload, which will include patients with both functional and organic diagnosis.
