Band 6 Community Psychiatric Nurse / Occupational Therapist
37.5 hours per week, 7 days a week, 8am - 8pm.
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 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.
Delivered in people's own homes within the community, the service makes every effort to prevent unnecessary admission to hospital and facilitates the opportunity for people to return home following a hospital admission or period in residential care.
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.
Main duties of the job
As a Band 6 CPN/OT your main duties will be
To provide a defined level of specialist assessment and access to interventions for a diverse patient group and their families under the care programme approach, who present with significant mental health conditions and people with a dementia diagnosis.
To provide intensive support to patients within their own community setting.
To demonstrate active clinical and managerial leadership skills within the team, providing education and supervision to junior staff members and other professionals.
