Community Psychiatric Nurse - Band 6
We are seeking an enthusiastic, motivated and recovery-focused Band 6 Community Psychiatric Nurse to join the Wandsworth Clozapine Clinic. This is an exciting opportunity to take a lead role within a well-established specialist service supporting people with severe and enduring mental illness who require clozapine treatment in the community.
About the Role
Based at Springfield Hospital, Wandsworth, you will work autonomously alongside a Nursing Associate to coordinate and deliver borough-wide Clozapine clinics. The role does not involve holding a defined caseload; instead, you will provide clinical leadership and oversight, ensuring the safe and effective delivery of clozapine monitoring and depot medication administration. Clinics operate Monday to Thursday, with Fridays dedicated to administration, service development, audit, quality improvement and governance activities.
Key Responsibilities
- Provide continuity of care, specialist physical health monitoring and expert clinical oversight.
- Conduct blood monitoring, physical health assessments, side-effect management, risk assessment and the timely escalation of concerns to medical colleagues and pharmacy services when required.
- Play a vital role in improving patient outcomes.
- Work closely with the multidisciplinary team, including the Borough Advanced Clinical Practitioner, Consultant Psychiatrists, pharmacists, Community Mental Health Teams, GPs and wider partner organisations.
- Coordinate care, manage clinic processes, ensure compliance with Trust Clozapine Policies and national monitoring requirements, and contribute to a culture of safety, quality and continuous improvement.
