Band 6 Community Psychiatric Nurse / Occupational Therapist

We are seeking an enthusiastic and motivated Band 6 Mental Health Nurse to join our MHSOP Intensive Home Treatment Team within the City. We provide urgent assessment, treatment and support for service users of any age with a diagnosis of a dementia or people over the age of 65 with a mental health condition within an 8 week time frame.
The team provides specialist assessment, therapy & treatment, working to an individually tailored care plan to adopt a flexible, patient-centred approach enabling the older person with mental health difficulties to engage in services available to them and to lead as independent a life as possible.

There will be an expectation that the team will work closely with current Community Mental Health Teams (CMHT) in the locality and also with the CRHT's.
There will be an expectation that the Band 6 Clinician will be the duty worker for the team.
