We are the Camden and Islington Community Mental Health Teams (CMHTs), servicing the London Boroughs of Camden and Islington, and we are passionate about supporting older adults with mental illness and/or people affected by dementia.

We’re seeking to recruit a nurse who shares our passion to strive towards excellence in older people’s mental health and dementia care, with a keen interest in service development and quality improvement and who encourages a workplace based on our Trust’s culture pillars where staff and service users feel safe, valued and are empowered.

We are a busy service and caseloads are reflective of this. This requires you to have good organisational skills and an ability to work independently. The role involves visiting patients at home and you therefore must be able to get around Camden and Islington using Public Transport and/or walking/cycling.

You’ll be able to demonstrate experience in working with older people with severe mental illness and/or dementia, and have excellent communication and interpersonal skills. You should have an understanding of the wider health and social care system. Being computer literate is a must as you will be using an Electronic Patient Record and MS Word, Teams and other software.

If you have the right values for the North London Foundation Trust you will be supported by a programme of continuous training and development. The position offers opportunities to get involved in Quality Improvement projects and to become champion/lead in specific area relevant to the role. You will also be responsible for supervising other members of the team.

We’re keen to recruit someone with the right values and behaviours who can help us deliver our Trust priorities:

• Early and effective intervention – we offer a range of evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
• Helping people to live well – we use the DIALOGUE+ approach for holistic care planning
• Research and innovation – we promote opportunities for research with our patients and carers
• Keeping our service users, carers and staff safe – we have several QI projects in the service to develop safe and effective ways of working
