An excellent opportunity has arisen for a Clinical Nurse Specialist to join the Liaison Psychiatry Service. You will have a real passion for mental health care and be able to work in a challenging and dynamic environment.
As a Specialist Psychiatric Nurse, you will be committed to providing high quality acute assessment in the Emergency Department and provide ongoing care and expertise to any patient admitted to our hospital with co-morbid psychiatric care needs. We are particularly interested in receiving applications from RMNs with experience of providing therapies, such as CBT or EMDR.
Therefore, we are seeking a confident and accomplished practitioner to join our accredited service and share the vision of 'high quality care for all'.
The ideal candidate must have at least 2 years of experience of acute (Crisis/Liaison) assessment at Band 6 level or above.
This is a full-time (1.00 wte) permanent post.
Your main duties include seeing, assessing and treating patients that are attending acute services, primarily in the Emergency Department. This may include delivering a range of nursing and psychosocial interventions to individual patients and their families, as appropriate. You are likely to be assisting and supporting general hospital colleagues in making decisions about treatment and care in complex situations.
You will be working within a team but often as an autonomous clinical specialist within the general hospital. Your role also requires consultation, liaison and teaching general hospital staff at all levels.
The Service runs from 0700-2100hrs, 7 days a week, and you will be required to work shifts covering evenings and weekends for this. The Service may extend to provide 24hr care, with possible Commissioning changes.
