Are you a caring, enthusiastic registered professional who is passionate about helping people with Dementia? We are looking for a Memory Assessment Service Specialist Community Practitioner to join our supportive multi-disciplinary team.
As a Specialist Clinical Practitioner, working in the MAS West, you will be based at Maiden Castle Dorchester and covering the Weymouth, Portland and Bridport area. This will be a mixture of clinic settings and home visits and working from home is an essential part of the role. You will be providing specialist care and interventions, assessments, treatments, and managing patients on a caseload, with a focus on providing a high-quality person-centred approach to care delivery which always considers people's safety, privacy and dignity.
The role will allow you to actively participate in developing high-quality and innovative services that aim to identify, diagnose and support people in the community with early dementia, involving service users and carers.
There are two part -time positions, one for 30 hours per week and the other for 22.5 hours a week between Monday-Friday 9am-5pm, but you may be required to work flexibly to meet service needs. Please indicate which post you are applying for.
To find out more about the role or for an informal discussion, please contact Sarah Armstrong, Team Leader, [email protected]
Main duties of the job
You will have a key role in performing Initial Assessments with formal Cognitive Testing and this is the first part of a process leading to a possible diagnosis of a Dementia.
You will offer clinic and home-based assessments as well as NHS video consultation and phone assessments. You will be highly skilled in communicating clearly and sensitively, both verbally and in writing, with clients and their carers, discussing diagnoses, treatment options and care plans.
You will work closely with health, medical and psychology colleagues, in line with NICE guidance, as part of medicines trials in the monitoring of Anticholinesterase drugs such as Donepezil, Galantamine and Rivastigmine as well as Memantine. You will liaise with colleagues within the wider Dementia services, primary care, community health and social care services, voluntary sector organisations and the wider mental health teams for older adult services as appropriate.
You will need to have a valid driving licence and use of a car as you will be required to assess and monitor patients in their own homes and within other community settings.
You will be expected to deliver person-centred care whilst meeting local and national targets set by the NHS Dorset Clinical Commissioning Group and NHS England in relation to dementia.
Please note visa sponsorship for this role is unfortunately not available. Please ensure you hold valid right to work in the UK and will not require sponsorship if successful.
