Tees Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust
Applicants must have already completed the Nursing Associate foundation degree and be a Registered Nurse Associate on the NMC register. This post is not offering the training to gain this qualification. An exciting and rewarding opportunity has arisen for Band 4 positions within the recently formed NYY&S Intensive Support Service for people with a learning disability. The post holders will work as part of the multi-disciplinary Community Learning Disability Teams, addressing and supporting the health, psychological, emotional, and behavioral needs of adults with a learning disability who have complex physical and emotional health needs. The base will be in York at Systems House and will cover the North Yorkshire area including York & Selby, Northallerton & Richmond, Scarborough, Whitby & Ryedale, Harrogate/Knaresborough. The focus of the team is to provide an alternative to in-patient care in line with the transforming care agenda, focusing on people with a learning disability who are experiencing (but not exclusively) mental health difficulties, behavioral challenges, placement breakdown, and medication titration. The team may also provide some in-reach into AMH/ACUTE/LD hospital settings as liaison support when our clients need to access inpatient settings. The IST operates from 8am-8pm on a 12-hour shift pattern 7 days a week. Main duties of the job
The successful candidates will need to have a genuine desire to improve the mental health and well-being of adults with learning disabilities and behaviors that challenge. They will work as part of an MDT delivering high-quality secondary care and enhancing community services, working with individuals who require specialist interventions using trauma-informed care and a recovery-based approach. The successful candidate must be motivated, flexible, and able to communicate effectively. They will be expected to travel independently to various locations within the NYY&S locality on a regular basis. A trust car lease scheme is available. About us
