We're looking for an enthusiastic and forward thinking Band 6 Senior Staff Nurse to join our dynamic Outpatient Team, where your expertise will truly make a difference.

This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated clinician who thrives in a fast-paced, patient-focused environment and is ready to take the next step in leadership.

You'll play a key role in shaping high-quality care, supporting service development, and guiding junior staff, all while building meaningful relationships with patients across a wide range of specialties.

We're an NHS community and mental health provider Trust based in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We deliver community and hospital-based care to improve people's physical and mental health. We also provide specialist support to people with dementia or a learning disability.

We are a people organisation and people matter to us. As part of the team, you'll help support the health and wellbeing of the people who live and visit this beautiful part of the UK.

Over 4,000 people make up the Trust. This includes doctors, nurses, therapists, plus admin and support staff.

We work in people's homes, in community clinics and bases. Some staff work from one of our 13 community hospitals. Our aspiration is to have great people, provide great care, be a great place to work and a great partner.

Approximately 568,000 people live here. A third of people who live in Cornwall are supported by acute hospital services in Devon. As a result, we also work closely with our partners in Devon. In the summer, and during other holidays lots of people choose to visit the area. This increase the numbers of people who use out services.
