We are seeking mental health nurses to work in Carshalton & Wallington Integrated Recovery Hub (IRH) as Care Co-ordinator/Community Psychiatry Nurse.
We provide service to adults with complex health and social care needs using the recovery model.
You will be a registered mental health nurse with post registration mental health experience, preferably within a community mental health setting. We would consider someone without community experience if they can demonstrate the right aptitude and ability. You will be someone with a range of clinical skills in assessment, crisis intervention and care coordination.
We offer a supportive working environment, with a visible and accessible management team. Supervision is a priority as we pride ourselves in supporting staff to meet the needs of the patient and we are committed to delivering an exemplary service with a strong culture of training and education.
The role involves the management of a caseload of patients diagnosed with a range of severe and enduring mental illness. You would need to demonstrate the ability to facilitate care planning with individual patients which includes their mental, physical, and social care needs; recovery goal setting; and providing regular Care Programme Approach (CPA) reviews. The post involves working closely with other teams and services within the borough, the Trust, our partner agencies, and non-statutory organizations; writing social circumstances reports for mental health review tribunals and attending reviews.
You will be committed to working creatively to provide a community service for people experiencing mental health problems. You will be well organized, able to work autonomously, have excellent communication skills, both written and oral, and be a team player. The team works closely with Sutton and Cheam Integrated Recovery Hub and the post also requires you to represent duty across both teams on a regular basis. You must hold a full driver’s license and have access to your own vehicle.
