Job Opportunity: Community Nursing at Newhaven Base
We have a great community nursing opportunity at our Newhaven base in East Sussex. This post would suit a Registered Mental Health Nurse (but we will consider Learning Difficulties nurses who have sufficient experience of working with Dementia or Severe Mental illness.)
You would be a key part of our multi-disciplinary service for older adults with mental health problems, including Dementia. This is challenging work but we receive very positive feedback from our service users and carers and Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust has recently achieved Outstanding for the care it provides.
Role Overview
This post will involve working with older People with complex mental health needs as well as physical health care needs. You will be expected to support both the client and their carers. You will also need to be able to work cohesively with other services both within our Trust, and with other partner agencies.
You will need to be caring, compassionate and a good communicator, with a commitment to improving the lives of our service users through creative, evidence based practice. As a care co-ordinator, you will be responsible for working collaboratively with service users and their carers on your caseload to create care plans that meet their needs and maximise their independence.
