Main duties of the job
The Specialised Care Home and Enhanced Dementia Service is a specialist team aimed at providing a safe and supportive alternative to a psychiatric hospital admission for adults with a diagnosis of dementia. We work with individuals, families and carers who are experiencing increasing difficulties due to behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia. We also support individuals who have a long standing functional mental health illness, which may be complicated by their dementia diagnosis.
The team provides a range of psychosocial interventions utilising key models such as the Newcastle model, formulations, non-pharmacological approaches/ interventions, and when indicated we provide pharmacological interventions.
The main duties of the role will be providing a robust assessment including assessment of risk, identifying needs and formulating care plans to meet identified needs/ mitigate risk.
As a team we work alongside other services to plan, deliver and review effective "wrap around" interventions to manage risk and prevent hospital admission.
