You will deliver assessments and therapeutic interventions designed to maximise patients’ independence, safety and wellbeing. Interventions will include education, individual work and group work, and will involve close collaboration with patients, carers, statutory and voluntary agencies, and within a multidisciplinary team. You will hold a complex caseload of patients.

The post holder will be based in the Ealing Community Team, undertaking home visits and meetings at the team base and other community sites.

We would love you to apply if you are an experienced nurse with a passion to drive forward excellent care for older people with mental and physical health problems.
