Community mental health nurse

Hi all can anyone advise on what it’s like working as a mental health nurse in WA in particular in relation to the below:

work life balance?

What it’s like to work in the community/caseloads and work demand etc? Any home working allowed?

Annual leave as an SRN level 3 coming in as a British person?

Depends on the position if you would be allowed to work from home  and caseloads will vary from different teams e.g. ATT smaller caseloads, CTT higher (up to 30).

Annual leave in the public sector is 4 weeks unless an continuous shift worker which is 5.  If you work full time you'll accrue an ADO each month as full time is 80 hours per fortnight.  These ADO's are often rostered to prevent leave liability.

I've found the work life balance to be good.

It's great if you've secured a L3 position from the UK.
