CHEDS - Inpatient Link Nurse

The post holder will be expected to strengthen the continued link between inpatient staff and the CHEDS team to facilitate seamless care for young people being admitted to Ancora House under the CHEDS inpatient programme. This involves provision of training and support to inpatient staff. The post holder will be expected to provide meal support, family meals, occasional home visits and ensuring care plans are in place for the young people. This includes direct work with young people and families accessing the service as an inpatient but also the flexibility of outpatient work. The post holder will also work as a member of the CHEDS outpatient multi-disciplinary team and be the direct link between the inpatients under our service and the team, with the opportunity of being part of the groups the service offers.
