Therapeutic Older Person's Mental Health Service Unit

This opportunity seeks to establish a specialized therapeutic service for older adults with complex mental health needs, particularly those living with dementia. The service should be person-centered, adaptive, and flexible, designed to optimize health and wellbeing outcomes in later life. Key requirements include: a skilled workforce trained in the Newcastle Model of dementia care to develop evidence-based interventions that reduce one-to-one support hours while improving wellbeing; provision of excellent care and support for individuals with dementia presenting with complexity that exceeds the capacity of Somerset's standard health and social care services; and implementation of person-centered practices that enhance quality of life and independence for service users.
