Community Staff Nurse | West London NHS Trust

I'm really excited to offer this opportunity to a forward thinking and proactive Registered Nurse for people with learning Disabilities (RNLD). We also warmly welcome applications from Registered Mental Health or Adult Nurses who are keen to work with people who have learning disabilities. This role is idea for a newly qualified RNLD (or an RN who wishes to move into the field of learning disabilities).

Our central focus is to have the Service User and their family at the core of what we do. We are deeply committed to delivering on an equality agenda that delivers in reducing the health inequalities experienced by this population group and improve health outcomes.

In 2021, the service was nationally recognised and received a 'highly commended' accolade from the National Pharmacy Awards. In 2022 we reached the finals at the National Learning Disability and Autism Awards and later that year received the Trust's 'Outstanding Clinical Team of the year. We are rightly proud of what we have achieved so working in innovative ways is the standard we always aim for!

You will work as an integral member of the Team whilst having responsibility for a designated caseload (with support/steer from higher banded nurses). The post holder will be expected to positively represent the needs and rights of people with learning disabilities, tackling inequalities in health, and improving access to identified services in the statutory and 3rd sectors.

You will deliver high quality nursing care that is sensitive too and meets the needs of a diverse population group and be an active member of the multi-disciplinary team and wider MDT discussion/process as required. You will also work jointly with peers from other clinical disciplines in meeting the holistic needs of people.

You will carry out domiciliary visits in people's homes, day opportunity centres, educational establishments and other venues when required. In addition, you will undertake joint and independent risk assessments for all cases on caseload (as/or required).
