Overview
Join the Suffolk Adult ADHD team as part of our nursing staff. The Band 6 nurse will be involved in screening new referrals, responding to duty calls, and conducting medication review appointments for people under the team. There are options for flexible / hybrid working and the opportunity to help shape ADHD provision for Suffolk moving forwards.
Our primary goal is to walk alongside people during their ADHD journey to provide a kind, safe and effective level of support. While this role is ideally for an established community Band 6 nurse with prior ADHD experience, we would consider the right candidate looking to expand their scope of practice or a development opportunity at Band 6 for someone stepping up from a Band 5.
We are primarily looking for someone with an existing mental health or learning disability nursing qualification who can see patients face-to-face in one of our Suffolk team bases if required; fully remote working would not be suitable.
Responsibilities
* Screening and triage of new referrals
* Duty work for the ADHD team
* Liaison with other health professionals (GPs, pharmacies)
* Carer support
* Clinical audit
* Annual medication reviews or supporting NMPs with titration reviews
* Potential involvement in service development and project work
Location and Team Structure
Role is based around West Suffolk catchment with potential to work county-wide from different NSFT base-sites or other health locations as the service evolves.
Qualifications and Experience
* Existing mental health or learning disability nursing qualification
* Ability to see patients face-to-face in Suffolk bases (remote-only not suitable)
What we’re looking for
* Positive approach to change and willingness to be involved in service development
* Ability to work collaboratively as part of a team
