Senior Nurse Practitioner with Non-Medical Prescribing Responsibility
Brighton and Hove Neurodevelopmental Pathway (CAMHS) is looking for a highly motivated and experienced Band 7 practitioner to take on a senior role within our team.
Are you a registered nurse and NMP with leadership skills and a passion for working with young people and families? Or you might be an experienced neurodevelopmental nurse working with children and young people with ADHD, looking to further develop your skills and train as an NMP?
We have a full-time position available in our team at B7 in a developmental role.
The Neurodevelopmental Pathway in CAMHS is crucial in providing both assessment and targeted, evidenced-based mental health interventions for children and young people in Brighton and Hove, as well as providing pathways for neurodevelopmental diagnoses.
Main duties of the job
Your role will be to undertake and oversee specialist neurodevelopmental assessments and nursing interventions, supporting the neurodevelopmental team, initiating medication, and providing ongoing monitoring predominantly within the ADHD pathway.
In addition to your specialist NMP role, you will support the work of the wider team by contributing to duty cover and offering initial assessments.
As a senior clinician, you will support the development of junior staff and offer clinical supervision.
