Community Mental Health Nurse

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.

In the role you will be responsible for working with service users and their families. You will undertake a detailed history using a holistic approach and involve 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 inform internal clinical meetings and aid consistent, safe and high-quality decision making by members of the MDT and wider colleagues.
