Description
OUR VALUES IN ACTION
Care and Compassion Quality and Teamwork Dignity and Respect Openness, honesty and responsibility
This is an exciting opportunity to join The Community Rehabilitation Team in the Scottish Borders. The team provides assessment, treatment and support for adults with a diagnosis of a severe and enduring mental illness.
We are seeking an enthusiastic and motivated Registered Mental Health Nurse to join our Community Rehabilitation Team across the Scottish Borders. We are in the process of transforming Mental Health Rehabilitation Services in line with NHS Borders Mental Health Strategy. This is an opportunity to be involved in the change process to provide person centred, recovery focussed community care for our cohort of patients with severe and enduring mental illness.
The candidate should have a drive for improving the health and well being of our patients; enthusiasm to embrace change; resilience when working with complex cases including dual diagnosis, risk management with an ability to manage their owncaseload.
The successful candidate will join the existing well connected and highly functioning multidisciplinary service working closely with patients and colleagues in the NHS and partner organisations.
A full driving licence and access to a car is essential to carry out your role.
For further information please contact Jan Moffat Team Manager Community Rehabilitation Team: 01896 664424
As from 1 April 2026 the Agenda for Change full-time working week will be reducing from 37 to 36 hours per week. Part time hours will be reduced pro-rata. However, there will be a corresponding increase in the hourly rate so that pay will not be affected.
Due to legislative changes from 1 April 2025, this post may require a different level of criminal records check done than is currently the case. If the post is assessed as a "regulated role", your appointment will be subject to joining the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme. If there is any change to what is currently required, this will be confirmed by either the Hiring Manager or the Recruitment Team. For more details on these changes please visit:

To work in the United Kingdom, there is a legal requirement for an individual to demonstrate that they have the relevant permission to work in the country. This permission is, without exception, granted by the UK Visa and Immigrations Service.
As part of the pre-employment checks for a preferred candidate, NHS Scotland Boards will check your entitlement to work in the UK. It can be evidenced through a number of routes including specific types of visa as well as EU settled and pre-settled status. To find out more about these routes of permission, please refer to the GOV.UK website.
For specific types of post, if you do not have the necessary eligibility to work in the UK, it might be possible (though not guaranteed) to secure sponsorship via a UK Skilled Worker/Health & Care Worker Visa. However, this is only possible if the employer is a licenced Sponsor, and if the post does not fall below the current minimum salary threshold or ‘going rate’. Further information on these criteria can be found.
It is ESSENTIAL that you have checked that you either already have an appropriate right to work in the UK or that the post would be eligible to be sponsoredBEFORE submitting your application form
