The post holder will be an NMC level 1 registered mental health nurse (RMN, RNMH, RN3) with some relevant or significant post registration experience at AFC Band 5 (or equivalent).

This exciting role with NHS GG&C Occupational Health service will primarily involve the assessment and monitoring of the mental health of those referred to the service with an emphasis on how this impacts, or is impacted by, their job role or work within the organisation. The post holder will work as a key member of the existing Occupational Health service and their multidisciplinary team in their delivery of a comprehensive service at a time of growth and development. You will be expected to assess, support and monitor employees to achieve and sustain a level of mental health and wellbeing with the emphasis on maximising their potential in work and in life. Assessment of fitness for work will also be a key element of this role in addition to research and development relating to the links between mental health and wellbeing and work roles. You will also be instrumental in promoting a positive culture of general and mental health and wellbeing whilst identifying opportunities for health promotion, education, and training on issues relevant to positive mental health. Previous experience of detailed mental health assessment, comprehensive health and social assessment and also experience of alcohol and substance assessment and current evidence based best practice treatments and interventions is essential.

An Occupational Health nursing qualification (or working towards this) is desirable.

You will have exemplary communication, assessment and organisational skills with a positive and enthusiastic approach to this developing aspect of the service. You will be able to work independently but also function effectively within the larger team, whilst demonstrating adaptability to the diverse and variable demands upon our service.

NHS Scotland is reducing their full time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week. If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Recruiting Board.
