You will carry out screening and assessment at enrolment and every 12 weeks, for clients who have indicated risk and are on our waiting lists. You will keep up-to-date records in our digital systems so that any clinician interacting with the client is immediately informed of their risk status and can easily access concise, timely records of the nature of the risk, management plans and actions taken.
