You will be required to work autonomously, understand capacity and flow of the service and the organisation, attend MDT meetings, undertake gatekeeping assessments for inpatient admissions and crisis house admissions, work collaboratively with the crisis house to lead on care for admissions as a service and facilitate early discharge from the inpatient wards where clinically indicated. As a Band 6 Nurse in the CRHT, you will also provide clinical leadership and supervision for junior staff.

Responsibilities

• To provide a clinical service that is service user focussed, accessible and responsive on 24-hour, 7-day a week basis.
• To triage all mental health referrals into the Team to determine the priority for service response and the appropriate clinical pathway.
• To provide and deliver highly skilled nursing care, including full mental health assessment, care planning and care delivery, biopsychosocial interventions, clinical risk assessment and management, and promoting recovery and inclusion.

• To facilitate early discharge from the inpatient wards where clinically indicated.
• To deliver home based treatment interventions for all clients, ensuring best practice is implemented.
