Bank RMN

Priory is seeking a Bank RMN to join the team at Priory Hospital Solihull. The position is temporary and on-site in Solihull, within the Nursing department, and pays £18.57 per hour. Applications close on 30 October 2026.

Priory Hospital Solihull is a specialist facility for adults with complex mental health needs, and it accepts referrals from across the UK, though most come from local trusts within the West Midlands. The hospital sits in a peaceful setting with easy access to public transport and major routes, including the M6 and M42 motorways, with four train stations located within five miles.

If you’re a Qualified Registered Mental Health Nurse with six to twelve months post-registration experience, you hold an active NMC registration and have completed a preceptorship programme, this bank role could be a good fit. The team there focuses on compassionate care and aims to create a positive experience for residents and staff alike.

Care you’ll deliver on the unit

You’ll be part of a dedicated, supportive team that helps run the service smoothly, supports with care requirements, keeps spaces well looked after, and contributes to a positive environment for everyone who lives and works there.

In day-to-day practice you’ll deliver prescribed care to a defined group within an agreed framework, work with the patient and their carer or family to plan and deliver nursing care that respects patient choices, and act as the patient’s named nurse. You’ll observe and engage with patients to assess their needs and track progress, monitor and review nursing care plans, and respond to changes in a patient’s condition or needs. You’ll also handle suggestions and complaints from patients and families in a proactive, constructive way.
