Memory and later life service is for anyone who has new or suspected memory problems, including those with a diagnosis of dementia, and people in later life who have anxiety, depression or psychosis made more complex by physical health needs.
Memory and Later life services are available throughout Cumbria, in the east we cover Carlisle and Eden and their surrounding areas.
We offer assessment and a range of evidence-based interventions in a variety of settings including the person's home, GP surgery, Care Home, clinic, or hospital, depending upon the individual’s circumstances. The post is for a vacancy within our early memory pathway as a band 5 community nurse. Your main role will be to carry out assessments for individuals following concerns expressed about their memory.
Our team works closely with the person and their family, as well as colleagues in other parts of healthcare, Adult Social Care, and other community and third sector services. Staff within the service include Consultant Psychiatrists, Nurses, Occupational Therapists, Psychologists, Assistant Practitioners, and Support Workers.
We aim to attract and retain a diverse, talented, and committed workforce, who are caring and compassionate, and therefore able to meet the demands of the modern NHS now and in the future. In return, we can offer a dynamic working environment in which to build a career.
