Nurses

Our nurses work in a range of inpatient and community settings, with a variety of individuals across the lifespan - from child and adolescent services, through to working age and older adult and dementia care. Mental Health and Learning Disability nurses work with individuals, their carers, and the wider multi-disciplinary team to assess, plan, deliver and evaluate care according to each individual's specific needs.

Our nurses are skilled at establishing relationships with their service users to promote trusting, therapeutic relationships, and to advocate for their service users. Nurses often walk alongside their service users in the scariest of times, offering them hope, working with them to develop an understanding of their experiences and establish coping mechanisms to manage their distress.

Each one of our 600 nurses is as valuable to us as the next. As well as the wealth of exclusive staff benefits available to nurses who choose to work with us, we feel passionately about supporting learning and development to enable our nurses to be the best they can be.

We're very proud of the nurses we have working for us, and celebrating their achievements such as Lyndsay Khan, who won Mental Health Nurse of the Year at the British Journal of Nursing Awards 2020. Read Lyndsay's story here.

All registered nurses who join one of our inpatient wards can also benefit from a welcome payment of £2,500 (paid in two instalments during year one) and £4,000 payment in lieu of relocation (to assist with commuting) or full relocation package.**

Living and working in Lincolnshire- Sue Brace, Ward Manager

“I originally moved to Lincolnshire to be near my family. I hadn’t even heard of Lincolnshire before, and had always lived in the southern part of the country – Surrey, Sussex, Kent, London. I had lived in a variety of locations, big cities, rural areas and seaside towns so a really varied mix.

“Living in Lincolnshire means that I have the very best of several worlds. Lincoln is a beautiful city with a cathedral and a castle, the Lincolnshire countryside is gorgeous with lots of green fields and blue skies…and I am only an hour from the seaside.

“Working for Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust enables me to be an autonomous practitioner, with the freedom to do my job and innovate, while being supported in my role and inspired to make changes to improve services for patients, carers and staff.

“I live in Lincoln city, but am only a ten minute walk (usually with my dog along the river side), to where I keep my horse which means that I am able to combine my love of the country and the outdoors, with a desire to live in a city and work for a fabulous mental health organisation.

Sue Brace is a Ward Manager at Brant Ward in the Older People and Frailty Team.
