Are you a reliable, committed, dynamic, and motivated professional with excellent communication and organisational skills, and the ability to prioritise work?
Poole Adults Community Mental Health team seeks a Band 6 Community Mental Health Practitioner.
As a Mental Health Practitioner, you will provide care delivery which considers people's safety, privacy, and dignity. You will provide interventions, assessments, and treatments, manage patients on a caseload, and plan, implement and review health improvement programmes in a range of settings.
You will work within a supportive established integrated multi-disciplinary team. This team is made up of a Psychiatrist, Nurse prescriber, Mental Health Practitioner, carers officer, Social Workers, OTs, Support Time Recovery Workers, individual placement support workers, and Psychologists.
The Community Mental Health Practitioner role is full-time Monday to Friday and based in Poole and surrounding areas. You will need to have a valid driving licence and use of a car as you will be required to assess and monitor patients in their own homes and within other community settings.
Main duties of the job
You will be supported in your clinical work and professional development by an experienced Mental Health Nurse, with ongoing close and supportive supervision from the Team Leader together with an agreed programme of training and development.
Having experience working in a community mental health environment would be useful, but not essential. You will need to be able to apply the philosophies of engagement and recovery within your work with service users.
We welcome informal discussions and visits. Please contact Lulu Dajani 01202 305093.
