This role will align with expectations for moving service provision from hospitals to the community, as well as with local and national ambitions for integrated neighbourhood teams. Place-based partnerships and integrated neighbourhood teams promote a focus on prevention and integration of statutory and voluntary agencies.
The focus of the position is to maintain patient flow whilst supporting a strengths-based approach to recovery. The role will be based in the community teams with an expectation that at least 50% of time will be spent on the Older Adult Wards. We are looking for enthusiastic, dynamic and experienced individuals who can work confidently on their own as well as being a team player. Good communication and problem-solving skills are essential, as well as knowledge of the needs of older adults. We also are looking for people who can demonstrate the Trust’s vision and values in practice.
The successful applicant will work alongside the leads and colleagues to continue to develop the service and begin to pick up a specific relevant clinical caseload, and provide evidence-based interventions as well as liaising with other agencies. You will form part of the multi-disciplinary team, and be expected to voice your professional experience to support the patients who are open to the service, and other services that may need your advice or support.
Visits to the team or questions are encouraged to appreciate this exciting and challenging role.
