The ideal candidate will be highly motivated and be able to 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 most importantly - with people, their families and unpaid or paid carers, is an essential core competency. As Senior Practitioner, you will support the team's triage and duty system as part of a rota. You will undertake a detailed assessment using a holistic memory assessment framework, with the initial collation of all clinically relevant individual service user information (clinical history) and involving families and carers as part of our genuine commitment to co-creation. In this way you will promote positive experience and clinical outcomes from the beginning of the person's service journey. There is a requirement to accurately record and document clinical discussions and assessment details on our clinical system and to ensure that all individual service user documentation is up to date and available to aid formulation within the MDT meeting, providing consistent, safe and high quality decision making. The successful candidate will provide MDT formulation outcome feedback to the service user and families and carers.
