Registered Mental Health Nurse (RMN) ? Norwich

Experienced Registered Mental Health Nurse Required

At Clover Care Group, we believe great care starts with seeing the person, not just their care needs.

We are looking for an experienced and compassionate Registered Mental Health Nurse (RMN) to join a dedicated care package supporting a young adult in Norwich.

This is a rewarding opportunity for a nurse who combines strong clinical knowledge with patience, empathy and a genuine commitment to delivering person-centred care.

The individual we support has autism, a severe learning disability and ADHD and communicates primarily through signs, gestures and behavior rather than spoken language.

They require a calm, structured and consistent approach from professionals who understand the importance of recognising behavior as communication, responding appropriately to sensory needs and promoting emotional wellbeing.

About the role

As a Registered Mental Health Nurse, you will provide skilled nursing support within a dedicated care team, helping to maintain the individual's safety, wellbeing and quality of life.

Your responsibilities will include:

Delivering safe, effective and person-centred nursing care

Supporting an individual with autism, severe learning disabilities and ADHD

Recognising and responding to changes in behaviour, emotional wellbeing and mental health presentation

Applying positive behaviour support (PBS) principles and following established behaviour support plans

Supporting communication through signs, gestures and individualised communication methods

Identifying triggers for distress, anxiety and sensory overload

Using proactive strategies to reduce distress and prevent behavioural escalation

Supporting consistent daily routines and predictable environments

Administering and monitoring medication in accordance with the MAR chart and clinical guidance

Monitoring physical health, including bowel health, IBS and constipation

Recognising changes in physical health that may contribute to behavioural distress

Supporting safe personal care and daily living activities where required

Promoting independence, dignity, choice and meaningful engagement

Maintaining accurate clinical documentation, observations and handovers

Working collaboratively with family members, care workers and Clover's wider clinical team

Escalating clinical concerns and contributing to ongoing care planning and risk management

What we're looking for

Current NMC registration as a Registered Mental Health Nurse (RMN) is essential.

We are looking for a nurse who is:

Experienced in supporting individuals with autism and learning disabilities

Confident working with individuals who communicate non-verbally

Knowledgeable in positive behaviour support and proactive behaviour management

Able to recognise early signs of distress, anxiety and behavioural escalation

Experienced in medication administration and clinical monitoring

Confident assessing and responding to changes in mental and physical health

Calm, patient and compassionate, particularly in challenging situations

Able to follow detailed care plans and individualised risk assessments

Committed to safeguarding, dignity and person-centred practice

Comfortable working within a structured and consistent care environment

A strong communicator who can work collaboratively with families and multidisciplinary teams

Reliable and committed to providing continuity of care

Previous experience in community mental health nursing, learning disability services, autism support or complex care would be particularly valuable.

About you and our values

For this package, clinical expertise is only part of what makes an excellent nurse.

We are looking for someone who understands that behaviour often communicates an unmet need, discomfort, anxiety or frustration.

Someone who can remain calm when situations become challenging, recognise subtle changes in presentation and respond with understanding rather than confrontation.

Most importantly, we want a nurse who will take the time to build trust, respect individuality and support the person to enjoy a fulfilling and meaningful life.

Because at Clover Care Group, the best people care.
