We are recruiting a 0.4 WTE Clinical Specialist Nurse to work as the Clinical Specialist in the Camden Care Home Liaison Team.

The Camden Care Home Liaison Team provides specialist care and treatment for a caseload of older adults living in residential care to support their wellbeing and quality of life.

If you are a nurse with experience working with older adults and supporting service users with complex needs, including significant physical health care comorbidities, we would be keen to hear from you.

By working in a multidisciplinary Care Home Liaison, you will develop strong leadership, risk assessment, and clinical management skills. You will contribute to managing a shared caseload, formulate specific, highly specialist care and treatment plans, and provide interventions and care to service users with acute functional mental health problems and/or dementia.

You will deliver direct care to service users with mental health issues in residential care, collaborate with care home staff, and ensure safe, evidence-based, culturally competent care.

You will also have opportunities to contribute to governance and audit, support team members' development, and ensure effective induction and integration of new staff.

Our Five-Year Strategy:

1. Provide high-quality care closer to home.
