Devon Partnership NHS Trust is looking for a dedicated and experienced registered clinician to join the newly formed Learning Disability and Autism (LDA) Outreach Team in Dawlish as a Band 7 Outreach Practitioner. The role requires collaboration with colleagues from various disciplines, including Mental Health and Learning Disability nursing, as well as Occupational and Speech and Language Therapy. Candidates should possess strong clinical leadership skills, extensive knowledge of safeguarding, the Mental Health Act, and the Mental Capacity Act, along with excellent communication and risk assessment abilities.

The primary responsibilities of the position include triaging, assessing, planning, and delivering complex care packages for service users, particularly those vulnerable to admission and those transitioning from 'The Brook' inpatient unit. The practitioner will need to work autonomously and as part of a multidisciplinary team while liaising actively with partner agencies, families, and care providers throughout the care process. The Devon Partnership NHS Trust aims to establish itself as a center of excellence in this field, and the ideal candidate should embody the Trust's values and demonstrate the ability to inspire and lead the team towards achieving this goal.
