Band 6 - Community Practitioner - Forensic Community Service
Some exciting opportunities have arisen to be part of the Forensic Community Service.
We are actively seeking to recruit an experienced male Registered Mental Health Nurse due to occupational requirements of the role which includes meeting the cultural, ethnic and risk needs of some of our service users. You will be supporting the service as one of our Community Practitioners.
We are a regional service which provides care and treatment for adults (both male and female) who have a history of offending and/or pose a risk to others.
Our service users have come into contact with the criminal justice system and have been within the secure in-patient pathway. We provide Care Co-ordination for patients across the region, along with providing in-reach to patients within secure in-patient services across the Provider Collaborative footprint.
We aim to attract and retain a diverse, talented and committed workforce, who are caring and compassionate, and therefore able to meet the demands of the modern NHS now and in the future. In return we can offer a dynamic working environment in which to build a career.
The service currently operates during working hours of Monday to Friday (0900-1700).
The team covers the whole of the Cumbria Northumberland Tyne & Wear NHS Foundation Trust footprint. There is also some working into Tees, Esk & Wear Valley NHS Foundation Trust as part of the Provider Collaborative.
The aim of our community services is to reduce length of stay in secure beds, reduce re-admission and provide an ongoing service in the community using interventions based on NHS England's '12 components of Care', a biopsychosocial model.
The team also provide assessment and expert advice to other mental health services regarding risk management which will enable patients to remain in the least restrictive setting and reduce the risk of offending/re-offending.
Please find attached job description for full details.
