Are you an experienced and motivated Learning Disability Nurse?
Looking for a new challenge with rewarding prospects and opportunities?
Due to secondment, we have a 12 month fixed term vacancy for a 30hr week Band 6 Learning Disability Nurse, (Senior Practitioner) within the Wirral Community Learning Disabilities Team (CLDT), based in Leasowe on the Wirral.
The CLDT is an established and progressive team comprising of Nurses, Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Psychologists and Psychiatry.
You will work autonomously, managing a defined case load of adults with learning disabilities, complex health needs, neurodevelopmental difficulties and / or behaviours of concern, working in 3 core areas: direct clinical, training and development of others and project work to help develop services offered to people with learning disabilities.
Your enthusiasm for providing a high-quality service and addressing health inequalities for people with learning disabilities will be matched by your ability to work collaboratively with not only the adults we support, but also their advocates/families and other identified stakeholders.
An excellent understanding of the issues adults with learning disabilities may experience is essential for this post as is a good understanding of Positive Behaviour Support, Mental Health, Positive Risk Assessment and Case Management.
