Derby City Older Adult Community Mental Health Team (CMHT) & the Derby Wellbeing Team are looking for an enthusiastic Band 6 Older Adult Specialist join their friendly and supportive team based in Derby City.
You need to have experience of working with older adults with mental health conditions, in a community setting.
This newly-developed role, hosted by the Older Adults CMHT will involve supporting introductions into the Derby Wellbeing team, identifying the needs of older adults with mental health conditions who live within the local community, designing & implementing person centred support to enable people to live their best life.
This will include working with colleagues across the local community to ensure that we provide the right service at the right time by the right person.
The role is supported by the Derby City Older Adults CMHT, but working into the newly developed Derby Wellbeing Team.
Derby Wellbeing is a locality-based, multi-agency team, offering seamless support from agencies by placing the person at the centre of their support needs.
This role involves supporting the development of the offer for older adults through prototyping.
A core aspect of the framework is supporting those who may not have been eligible to secondary mental health support previously.

Learning objectives include how working into the Derby Wellbeing team as an older adult practitioner can be most effective, & how Derby Wellbeing can be an extension of the Older Adult CMHT. This includes developing links with community organisations.
The role involves undertaking person-centred psychosocial assessments (conversations), safety planning & formulation.
You will support individuals to improve their mental health by helping develop self-care skills, build resilience and utilise community resources.
