If you have good clinical skills and are motivated to further develop your knowledge and practice, this role will suit you. You will join a team where learning and professional development are promoted. You will have the opportunity to work autonomously as well as being supported by the team. Team wellbeing and cohesion are high on our agenda as they are essential to providing quality care and improving patient and carer experience.

We pride ourselves on providing a standard of care that we would be happy for our loved ones and ourselves to receive. If this is your motivation as a practitioner, you will fit well in one of our teams and we will nurture your caring attitude.

We will also support in obtaining a certificate of sponsorship.

You will undertake biopsychosocial assessments for patients who attend the Urgent Treatment Centre or Emergency Department or are admitted on medical wards and have mental health needs.

You will promote carer/family involvement where required/appropriate and will liaise with colleagues from other areas of health and social care to coordinate and facilitate safe discharge plans.

You will offer formal and informal training to your peers and acute trust colleagues to enhance patient care. As an integral part of the team, you will be encouraged to share your views and ideas to improve service delivery.
