4 weeks ago


Doncaster, United Kingdom Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHSFT Full time

Job summary

hours per week - Monday to Friday between the hours of 08:00 - 21:30 working long days and occasional weekends and Bank Holidays.

Free Park and ride service and onsite restaurant facilities.

Mental Health Services in Doncaster have benefited from funding during 2019 and 2020. This investment has enabled us to expand our Hospital Liaison Mental Health Team. Liaison Mental Health Service Model within Doncaster Royal Infirmary is part of NHS England's 'Achieving Better Access to 24/7 Urgent and Emergency Mental Health Care' Guidance.

Given that older adults with mental health problems are three times more likely to attend an Emergency Department, and five times more likely to be admitted to a general hospital as an emergency, working within a Mental Health Liaison Team is an extremely essential and rewarding role.

We are looking for a highly skilled and motivated Mental Health Nurse to join our Older Persons Hospital Liaison Team. To be successful in meeting the challenges involved in the role, you must be able to work autonomously and have strong clinical and risk management skills.

We are looking for a RMN with experience with Older adults or with an interest to work with Older adults. Part of the day to day role is to support the general hospital wards with Older Persons mental health, assessing, continuing care and planning of a safe discharge.

Main duties of the job

Provide a response to Mental Health Crisis in Emergency Departments and Inpatient Wards within one hour and to all urgent Ward referrals within 24 hours.

Complete a full biopsychosocial assessment and formulation and contribute to treatment and collaborative care plans.

Offer brief evidence-based interventions as inpatient or short-term outpatient follow-up.

Work within Doncaster Hospital Teams to reduce length of stay on general hospitals and improve follow-up care.

Provide advice and support to Scunthorpe General Hospital Staff regarding mental health care for their patients.
