Community Psychiatric Nurse

The multi-professional team aims to work with individuals and their carers to avert a crisis wherever possible through prevention and early intervention and working jointly with other emergency and non-statutory services to provide a range of crisis care services. Each new referral received will be screened and triaged in line with the service operational procedure and ensuring high fidelity to the CORE model. Where necessary, a holistic mental health assessment will be undertaken to facilitate appropriate care planning and risk management, and any non-urgent referrals will be referred onwards or sign-posted to more appropriate support services within the developing crisis pathway.

The post holder will contribute to service developments, service evaluation and clinical projects and there is opportunity to develop skill in a range of evidence based therapeutic approaches over a 24/7 shift pattern including weekends and night duty, If you are dynamic, innovative and able to apply a methodical approach to problem-solving, yet also consider some flexibility to work, this is the job for you.

We are passionate about delivering first-class patient-centred, safe and effective care, whether it is in a hospital setting, in a community clinic or in the patients own home. Patients are at the heart of everything we do. Providing top quality care depends on our ability to employ the best people.

We're always looking to recruit outstanding people who will go the extra mile to support our patients, colleagues, teams and the Trust. With every new employee were hoping to find our future leaders and well support our staff by providing opportunities to develop your career. With a diverse culture and equally diverse range of opportunities across mental health, community services, addictions, eating disorders, learning disabilities and more whatever stage of your career you're at, there's always a place for you at CNWL.

The successful applicant may have contact with patients or service users. As an NHS Trust we strongly encourage and support vaccination as this remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course patients and service users when working on our healthcare settings.
