Community Psychiatrist Nurse - DOPMH - Mid Locality
Three days ago, among the first 25 applicants, the Dementia & Older People's Mental Health Service in Mid Cornwall Locality of Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation provides assessment and treatment to people living with dementia and adults with functional mental health difficulties and increased complexity associated with physical ill health and the physiology of ageing.
The post is for a Community Psychiatrist Nurse working with people who have a dementia illness and / or a functional mental health illness, the latter the age of 75 and over. The post is based at Falmouth, with the Fal DOPMH Team, visiting people at home, in care homes and supporting our community health and social care teams.
The team includes a Consultant Psychiatrist, a Team Manager, a Memory Assessment Nurse, fellow Band 6 CPN's, Primary Care & Dementia Practitioner's, a Dementia Liaison Nurse, Health Care Assistants, and an Occupational Therapist.
As a qualified professional RMN, you will manage a caseload under the Care Programme Approach, placing the person at the centre of care in a busy but rewarding role. The ability to work in partnership with carers/family members and services in the community is essential.
Proposed interview date: TBC
Assessment, treatment and care co-ordination to two broad client groups:
* People living with dementia.
* Frail adults living with a range of mental health needs with the increased complexity associated with physical ill health and the physiology of ageing.
As a senior member of the team you will work closely with a wide range of both statutory and non-statutory agencies in developing and delivering personalised care under the care programme approach.
This community-based role requires frequent travel to various locations throughout the county including areas that may not be accessible by public transportation. Successful candidates will need to demonstrate how they will manage these travel requirements.
The post will be predominantly based in the Fal Team but may require in-reaching into other Mid Locality DOPMH CMHT's as service demands dictate.
