SOC 2237 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, and Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 2232 (Registered community nurses, Community learning disability nurse is an index entry). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
About the role
We have an exciting opportunity for a motivated and enthusiastic registered professional to join the Learning Disability Crisis Response and Intensive Support Team (LD CRIST) as a Band 6 Practitioner.
LD CRIST provides a service 7 days a week, 8:00am to 9:00pm, including bank holidays.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to discuss flexible working arrangements within these hours. Weekend and bank holiday working is undertaken on a rotational basis.
As a Band 6 Practitioner, you will manage your own caseload while working within a specialist multidisciplinary team comprising nurses, healthcare support workers, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, psychiatry and psychology colleagues, with input from a range of allied health professionals.
The team provides specialist support, clinical assessments, interventions and risk management for people with learning disabilities who are at risk of admission to an inpatient unit or at risk of placement breakdown within the community across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
Our aim is to support individuals to remain safely within their communities wherever possible.
This post offers an excellent opportunity for a registered professional with experience of working with people with learning disabilities.
A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle insured for business use are essential requirements for this role.
