Build a Better Future in Mental Health Care

Join us and help shape the future of inpatient mental health services across Greater Manchester.

We’re creating a culture where great care can flourish - for patients and for staff. As part of our investment in improving inpatient mental health care, we’re recruiting:

  • Registered mental health nurses (band 5 and band 6)
  • Healthcare support Workers (band 3)
  • Occupational therapists (band 5, band 6 and band 7)

Whether you’re starting your career, returning to practice, or looking for your next challenge, there’s never been a better time to join us.

Our inpatient services support adults and older adults across five boroughs: Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Stockport and Tameside and Glossop. From acute services to rehabilitation and high-support, we’re building a new model of care - one that puts safety, dignity, and staff wellbeing at its heart.

This is your chance to be part of something meaningful, supported by a Trust rated by its staff as the best place to work among mental health trusts in the North of England (NHS Staff Survey 2024).

We’re proud of the compassionate, inclusive culture we’ve built — and we’re still improving. Our inpatient transformation programme and clinical strategy are reshaping how we deliver care, putting lived experience, research and innovation at the centre.

You’ll work in services where your voice matters, your work is valued, and your impact is visible every day.

  • Properly resourced teams
  • Supportive multidisciplinary environment
  • Access to specialist therapy training and leadership development
