Nurse Consultant - Assertive Outreach Offer
The Nurse Consultant is a key clinical leadership role for our new innovative Assertive Outreach offer, to support local mental health services in both Slough and Reading.
The role will work as part of a specialist team of NHS and VCSE staff to provide excellent care to patients with psychosis who find our conventional services harder to engage with. Clear best practice guidelines for assertive outreach, formulation based care delivery and shared caseload principles will support smooth-running of the service.
As an Advanced Foundation Trust, with an Outstanding rating from the CQC, and one of the best staff survey results in the country, we are able to deliver positive changes for our service users and their carers via our mature Quality Improvement approach to innovation and development, whilst being a great place to work.
We are seeking a highly innovative practitioner who can provide senior clinical leadership and informed decision-making within a multidisciplinary team, whilst adopting creative and flexible clinical practice to engage people living with complex needs in meaningful ways. A focus on all four pillars of advanced practice, (expert clinical practice, clinical leadership, service development, education and research) is required to help improve outcomes, and will be supported through our excellent Nurse Consultant Network.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Our early implementation of the new assertive outreach approach will focus on the geographical locations of Slough and Reading with an expectation to work across both sites, and more widely across the Trust as the model evolves. Flexibility within job planning will include agreement on which base best suits the successful candidate.
