Trosolwg o'r swydd

Are you passionate about ensuring our ex-British Armed Forces – Navy, Army and RAF service personnel have access to excellent mental health care? The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise from the Nation that those who serve or have served in the armed forces, and their families, are treated fairly ensuring they are not at a disadvantage due to their Veteran status. A Veteran is an individual who has served one or more days in the military, and it is this group of people that Op COURAGE  works with on a holistic level.

Op COURAGE offers support to Veterans within the geographical patch (Birmingham, Black Country, Staffordshire, Shropshire and Telford and Wrekin) experiencing mental health crisis who require support in engaging with their local primary and secondary services. We do not aim to replace already existing services (e.g crisis teams, CMHT, GP management) but works to build links with these services and advocate for Veterans who may have faced difficulty in engaging or accessing the appropriate support.

Are you skilled in engaging, assessing, helping to support clients who may struggle to engage, present with complex difficulties, and manage dynamic risks? This is an exciting opportunity for a Mental health nurse to join the “bigger-picture” development of NHS Veteran mental healthcare through the Op COURAGE urgent care pathway.
