The Older Adults Service work with Older Adults who have mental health needs in the community. The Team is multi-disciplinary consisting of OT, Nursing, Psychiatry, Psychology, Social Worker, Voluntary sector, support workers and peer workers. The service works closely with health, social care, statutory and voluntary sector partners.
The focus of the position is to maintain patient at home whilst supporting a strengths-based approach to recovery. The role will be based in the community teams, working within people's homes to support admission prevention, quicker discharges and to support carers. We are looking for enthusiastic, dynamic and experienced individuals who can work confidently on their own as well as being a team player. Good communication and problem-solving skills are essential, as well as knowledge of the needs of older adults. We also are looking for people who can demonstrate the Trust's vision and values in practice, and are motivated to be involved in innovation and service development.
The Older Adults Hospital at Home service will provide care, support and treatment by a professional multi-disciplinary team. We will promote a shared approach to Older Adults, with an emphasis on individual choices and recovery.
The successful applicant will work alongside the leads and colleagues to continue to develop the service and begin to pick up a specific relevant clinical caseload, and provide evidence based interventions as well as liaising with other agencies. You will form part of the multi-disciplinary team, and be expected to voice your professional experience to support the patients who are open to the service, and other services that may need your advice or support.
As a social worker in the team, we will ensure that you have clinical and professional support from a qualified Social Worker to support the maintenance of your professional registration. This support will be alongside the supervision and management that will come from the Trust giving the best of both worlds.
We encourage staff development, and you will be supported throughout your supervision and appraisal process to develop your skills and reach your potential.
