Senior Practitioner Psychologist

Crisis is the national charity for people experiencing homelessness. In 2024 we embarked on our new 10-year strategy for ending homelessness. We know it is not inevitable. We know together we can end it.

It is an exciting and important time to be joining us at Crisis. We work with thousands of people across England, Scotland, and Wales so they can leave homelessness behind for good. We have recently adapted the way our services work to maximise our impact in ending homelessness. Please click for more information.

Admiral Nurse, Clinics Programme (Central region)

This year, the Charity has embarked on an exciting three-year corporate partnership with Nationwide Building Society. As part of this initiative, we’ve launched face-to-face Admiral Nurse clinics, bringing expert dementia support directly to high streets across the UK.

As part of the Nationwide Clinics Programme team, you will provide in-person support and advice, imparting specialist dementia nursing expertise and biopsychosocial support. Your focus will be in supporting family carers, people affected by dementia, and professionals who require specialist dementia guidance in areas of the UK where such services are currently unavailable, bringing a much-needed service directly to local communities.

This opportunity will be covering Central England, including areas in Oxfordshire, East Stafford, North Warwick and Northamptonshire.

This unique nursing opportunity allows travel across the country, including some overnight stays. You will receive planned project days fully supported by the Academy, similar to our Delivered services. Flexibility is essential, whilst predominately you will be covering a defined region, you may be required to cover areas outside of this to meet business needs. Throughout your work, you will consistently promote Admiral Nursing and a family-centered approach to dementia care.

To apply, you must be a registered nurse with the NMC, have significant experience in Admiral Nursing or dementia care, and demonstrate a history of delivering dementia care in various settings to individuals with dementia and their families and carers. As this role requires extensive travel, access to a vehicle may be preferred, however, is not essential.

This is a truly exciting and varied role where your expertise will really support those in need which would otherwise not be locally available. Join us in making a difference in the lives of those affected by dementia.

Admiral Nurse, Clinics Programme (South East region)

This opportunity will be covering South East England, including areas in Kent, East Sussex and West Sussex.
