We are looking for motivated and enthusiastic Registered Mental Health Nurses, Occupational Therapists, and Social Workers to work in the Working Age Community Mental Health Service, supporting service users' recovery within the community. You will be recovery-focused, have good risk assessment skills, and possess a good range of therapeutic interventions supported by evidence-based practice.
Our Community Mental Health Teams operate on a
Monday to Friday
schedule with core hours being
9am to 5pm , offering flexibility as we implement a hybrid model of working and flexible working arrangements. We require motivated individuals with good initiative and organizational skills. You will work as part of a multi-disciplinary team providing interventions for working-age adults, ensuring that the service users' recovery goals are identified and central to their formulation and care planning needs.
This is an exciting time to be part of the service due to the upcoming community transformation programme, a national initiative aimed at improving community mental health care and support for those with severe and enduring mental illness (SMI). The unique opportunity to work alongside experts by experience, third sector partners, primary care, and adult social care to develop and improve services to tackle health inequalities and meet the needs of the communities we serve is refreshing and rewarding.
Main duties of the job
With access to appropriate clinical and management supervision, the post holder will develop and demonstrate a range of appropriate skills, including assessment (including risk assessment), formulation, safety planning, and clinical interventions.
The role provides the opportunity to coordinate the care of service users throughout their engagement with the service and wider services if required. To achieve this, the post holder will acquire all the skills necessary to carry out the role through a range of defined competencies. This will include a requirement to practice care coordination skills through shadowing opportunities and supervision. Workload will be continually negotiated through supervision and case load management with the appropriate clinical team managers.
You will work as a Care Coordinator and be an integral part of the Community Mental Health Team, undertaking shared roles and responsibilities such as initial assessments, care coordination, and team duty. Additionally, you will be required to carry out specific assessments and interventions. You will be expected to develop and deliver complex service user-focused Care Plans and provide excellent packages of care, further supported by a Multi-Disciplinary Team and Formulation process. You will also be expected to employ leadership within your role, providing Clinical Supervision, Preceptorship, and support to junior colleagues. Student education and support are inherent to this role.
