Summary
As part of the Community Mental Health Hub, you will contribute to the day to day clinical running of the service while developing your skills and confidence as a community mental health nurse. You will take part in duty days, supporting timely responses to service users, carers and professionals. This includes responding to queries, identifying risk, escalating concerns appropriately and working with senior staff to coordinate care. You will gain experience in triage work, learning how referrals are received, reviewed and processed. This will include contributing to brief assessments, gathering key information, supporting risk identification, and assisting with signposting, onward referral or allocation, with guidance from senior clinicians. You will attend Therapies Hub meetings and contribute to discussions where referrals are being considered for psychological interventions. This includes presenting relevant information, highlighting risk, and developing an understanding of thresholds and pathways. You will support physical health monitoring through assessment and follow up, including basic observations, health promotion and healthy lifestyle advice, working within your competencies and with supervision. You will hold a defined caseload appropriate to your level of experience, providing ongoing support, reviews and interventions under supervision, and developing skills in managing workload, prioritisation and documentation. You will contribute to service quality and improvement activity, including supporting audits, data collection and KPI related work, and developing an understanding of how community services measure safety, quality and performance. You will work closely with multidisciplinary colleagues and partner services, and engage in regular supervision, reflective practice and training to support your development within the Community Mental Health Hub.
