They will be able to skilfully and sensitively communicate highly complex and sensitive information to clients, carers and colleagues and galvanise support of staff and services within and outside the Trust. The post holder will maintain regular contact with colleagues. This will include the team leaders, nurses, doctors and allied health professionals within the team. They will communicate regularly with the START Homeless Outreach CSL, other dual diagnosis practitioners in Lewisham and keep abreast of developments in the evidence base and changes in services provision. The post holder will liaise, communicate effectively and update the Service Manager (N1) and the CSL (START) on a frequent basis to feedback progress and highlight any areas of focus or concern.
