Summary
We are looking for a committed and experienced Band 6 Community Psychiatric Nurses to help deliver the service in Gedling & Hucknall as part of the locality community mental health team for older people. You will be based within the Multi-Disciplinary Community Mental Health Team whilst also being a part of the wider outreach service which is managed by a clinical specialist. A key aspect of the Community Psychiatric Nurse role will be advising and supporting care home staff to improve their skills and confidence to manage behaviours and promote person centred care planning. Specialist knowledge of the nursing issues associated with dementia in a residential setting and a high level of communication skills are crucial. The County Dementia Outreach service covers the County of Nottinghamshire and operates within a virtual team service model with clinicians being based within locality based community mental health teams. Applicants must be NMC registered. A full UK driving licence and vehicle for business use is required for this post; however reasonable adjustments will be made for disabled individuals in line with the Equality Act 2010. The Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) (Amendment) (Coronavirus) Regulations 2021 have stipulated that From 11th November 2021, all care home workers, and anyone entering a care home, will need to be fully vaccinated (had a full course of an MHRA approved COVID-19 vaccine), unless they are exempt under the regulations. These Regulations apply to this post and therefore it is a requirement that you provide evidence of your vaccination status or a medical exemption as a part of the recruitment process. Please note applicants will be required to pay for their DBS check. Costs are deducted from salary following appointment. The cost of the DBS application is £26.40 (standard) or £54.40 (enhanced), this cost will be deducted from your salary over the first 2 months of employment.You are encouraged to enrol for the DBS Update Service. An annual fee of £16 per year applies. Please note that this post does not meet the pay level required for a Skilled worker visa. Successful applicants with no prior NHS experience would normally be placed at the bottom of the band in line with Agenda for Change. This salary is below the minimum salary required for sponsorship for a Skilled Worker / Health & Care visa. In these circumstances the Trust would not, therefore, be able to sponsor for a Skilled Worker / Health & Care visa.Applicants requiring a Skilled Worker Visa can determine the likelihood of obtaining a Certificate of Sponsorship against the relevant criteria here https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa.
