You will be responsible for the assessment, planning, and implementation of care. You will assist in the interpretation of information relevant to the patient’s condition/progress, identify problems and needs of the patient, and set realistic goals.
You will need to have excellent organisational skills combined with a wide knowledge base and experience of working in older person’s services.
We will offer a supportive working environment in which to develop your clinical and interpersonal skills, a structured in-service training programme, appraisal, and supervision system. CPD is actively supported through regular supervision and staff training.
The team is based at St. Barnabus Hospital Saltash, but we cover the entire geographical area of East Cornwall, so a UK driving license and access to a vehicle for work use is essential.
This is a full-time post; days are planned over a 7-day rota, so this post does involve regular weekend working and the successful candidate must be flexible with their working days. The service covers the hours of 8-8, with Assessors working 8-6pm.
