Job overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen within the Older Adult Mental Health Community services, where we are looking to recruit a Band 6 CPN to the West Community Hub. The post holder will care coordinate a caseload of patients with complex mental health problems within Older Adult Services. They should have a good understanding of the CPA framework and our responsibilities within it. They will work alongside and within the wider multi-disciplinary team.
Main duties of the job
The post holder must be able to work independently and have the ability to prioritise and effectively manage their workload.

The applicant must have a flexible and 'can do' approach, with the ability to work under pressure and adapt to changes, often at short notice. A positive attitude is essential for effective teamwork and management of the challenges and complexities within our work.
