IMC Locums are looking for Band 6 Community Psychiatric Nurses to work on a locum basis within Bristol.
Job Description
This role will afford rapid access to credible specialist mental health expertise for GPs, Primary Care staff and other referring agents who are requiring support and expert advice on meeting the mental health needs of the people within their case loads. This will ensure that patients in Primary Care have their mental health needs more clearly assessed, defined, cared for and treated by Primary Care Health Care Professionals and that the pathways to best meet someone’s needs is optimised. For most people this will mean remaining within Primary Care supported by the Primary Care Liaison Service where needed, but for some, needs necessitating, there will be a smooth transfer into the NHS Client treatment services.The postholder will prioritise assessments based on clinical need and risk, making evidence-based recommendations for care and treatment within and across multiple care pathways. A significant proportion of the role will involve working in conjunction with Primary Care colleagues to identify care and treatment options which enable service users to remain within their existing support/care pathways and maintain their community tenure. The Primary Care Liaison team will provide an accessible specialist clinical consultation service for GPs and Primary Care colleagues, increasing awareness and providing education and training for this group to improve access to and understanding of the service. This role will necessitate working extended hours and some Saturday mornings. The postholder will maintain close working relationships with Recovery and Intensive services, Community Mental Health Teams as well as the Acute Hospital Liaison Services. Day to day leadership on service delivery and development will be provided by the Team Manager, as will caseload and management supervision. This will be supported by access to senior clinical advice from the multi-professional groups within the community services. The provision of Primary Care Liaison in an ageless service is a new role and the postholder will need to both actively and continuously reflect and modify upon their own practice and assumptions, as well as being centrally involved in data collection, analysis, service evaluation and continued development.
You can expect rates of up to £30 per hour plus mileage for this role.
