We are committed to fostering a supportive environment where every team member can thrive and contribute to the continuous development of our award-winning services.
We welcome applications from registered nurses, social workers, and occupational therapists eager to make a meaningful impact. Whether you're looking to specialise in children's mental health or seeking a new challenge, we offer tailored training and development opportunities to support your growth within our multidisciplinary team.
Be part of a forward-thinking service that is shaping the future of crisis care for young people. Apply now to join our dedicated team and help us continue to provide exceptional care across Greater Manchester.
You’ll be a core member of our Crisis Care team, delivering rapid, community-based support through Rapid Response, Home Intensive Treatment, and medical discharge pathways—helping prevent hospital admissions, support safe returns home, and empower young people to stay in their own homes.
Key Responsibilities
This role includes evening and weekend shifts (8 am–10 pm, 7 days a week).
If you bring strong assessment, communication, and crisis-intervention skills and want to deliver compassionate, community-centred mental health care, we’d love to hear from you.
MFT is one of the largest NHS Trusts in England with a turnover of £2.8bn & is on a different scale than most other NHS Trusts. We’re creating an exceptional integrated health & social care system for the 1 million patients who rely on our services every year.
Bringing together 10 hospitals & community services from across Manchester, Trafford & beyond, we champion collaborative working & transformation, encouraging our 30,000 workforce to pursue their most ambitious goals. We set standards that other Trusts seek to emulate so you’ll benefit from a scale of opportunity that is nothing short of extraordinary.
We’ve also created a digitally enabled organisation to improve clinical quality, patient & staff experience, operational effectiveness & driving research, and innovation through the introduction of Hive; our Electronic Patient Record system which launched in September 2022.
We’re proud to be a major academic Research Centre & Education provider, providing you with a robust infrastructure to encourage and facilitate high-quality research programmes. What’s more, we’re excited to be embarking on our Green Plan which sets out how MFT continues to play its part in making healthcare more sustainable.
At MFT, we create and foster a culture of inclusion and belonging, provide equal opportunities for career development that are fair, open, and transparent, protecting your health and wellbeing and shaping the future of our organisation together.
