Tees Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior Community Mental Health Practitioner to join our team in Redcar, based at Reed Marsh House. We are looking for a dynamic, positive and forward-thinking clinician with a passion for caring for people with cognitive impairment, their families and carers, and with a specialist interest in delivering high quality, effective and place-based Memory Services. This is an important part of a dynamic improvement review of how we deliver our memory services to broaden access and ensure delivery of specialist memory assessment in a timely manner. Candidates must have 18 months post qualifying experience including sign off of appropriate preceptorship or competency framework. We welcome applications from dynamic, motivated and innovative Registered Mental Health Nurses, Occupational Therapists and Social Workers. Main duties of the job
The ideal candidate will be highly motivated and demonstrate best practice in community mental health service delivery for older people, their families and carers. The ability to work independently, effectively and collaboratively within Multidisciplinary Teams, with external partners, and importantly - with people, their families and unpaid or paid carers, is an essential core competency. As Senior Practitioner, you will be responsible for completing comprehensive initial assessments to support service users and their families and carers in their understanding of the memory pathway. You will undertake a detailed history using a holistic memory assessment framework, involving families and carers as part of our commitment to co-creation. You will promote positive experience and clinical outcomes from the beginning of the person's service journey. You will be expected to cover duty on a rolling basis and support junior staff. There is a requirement to accurately record and document clinical discussions and assessment details on our clinical system and ensure that all individual service user documentation is up to date and available to inform internal clinical meetings and aid consistent, safe and high quality decision making by members of the MDT and wider colleagues. About us
Reed Marsh House is a lively, dynamic, and supportive team committed to collaboration and joint working. You will support the team's improvement activities for co-creation, aiming to deliver care that is highly personalised to each individual's needs and working closely with families, paid and unpaid carers. You will be encouraged and supported to bring your skills and experience to contribute to our team and locality's service development and continuous improvement and innovation endeavours. Job responsibilities
Please refer to the attached job description and person specification for further detailed information and to ensure that you meet the role criteria before applying. You will have an enthusiastic approach towards your own personal and professional development, being open-minded to changes in the way that the pathway is delivered in order to support service improvement and effectiveness of delivery so that we can improve experiences of care. In return, you will receive regular appraisal, clinical, management and caseload supervision and will benefit from the support of an experienced and committed multi-disciplinary leadership team, including the Team Manager and the Clinical Specialist Nurse/Advanced Nurse Practitioner. Due to the nature of the role, it is essential that applicants are able to travel independently across the locality and have access to a suitable vehicle for business purposes. If necessary, adjustments can be considered in accordance with the Equality Act 2010. Person Specification
