Advanced Nurse Practitioner - Rehabilitation in Complex Psychosis
Our innovative Rehabilitation in Complex Psychosis Community Mental Health service seeks a creative, flexible Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP) to join our Shared Leadership Team. As a team we are passionate about creative engagement, and empowering service users with complex needs to achieve their Recovery goals.
The successful candidate will be required to work with other senior staff as part of a shared leadership model including medical, psychology, social work, and allied health professional colleagues. You will monitor the progress of our mental health rehabilitation service, support the proposed expansion to other areas of the county, and will provide supervision and clinical leadership to our nurses. It's an exciting time to join the service, as you will have the opportunity to influence the development of a rehabilitation pathway across Norfolk.
You will be involved in supporting governance such as audit, Quality Reviews, CQC preparedness, and best practice in line with Nice Guidelines and the Royal College of Psychiatrists "Quality Network for Mental Health Rehabilitation Services" community rehabilitation standards.
Main duties of the job
You will be an ANP, with a scope of practice including prescribing for psychosis. You will demonstrate strong clinical skills, and will be expected to have experience and advanced knowledge in the area of clinical practice with people with enduring psychosis. You will be expected to act as a source of advice and guidance to the clinical team, providing support to practitioners with safe clinical decision-making.
One emphasis of the post involves ensuring high quality clinical care, provision and outcomes. We work with people in their own homes, residential care and supported living settings as well as, on occasion, in-reaching to people who are in a mental health hospital bed. You will provide direct support to staff and service users where role modelling/peer intervention may be of benefit to clinical outcomes. You will hold a small caseload as part of this work.
You will work with the leadership team and others supporting clinical engagement and leadership of quality, health and safety, performance and service development, including through the application of QI projects. We pride ourselves on being a healthy and supportive team, and have received positive feedback from our staff. You can find out more about the work we do on our X page @NSFTRehab.
