There will be an expectation that the team will work closely with current Community Mental Health Teams (CMHT) in the locality and with the CRHT's. There will be an expectation that the Band 6 Clinician will be the duty worker for the team. Main duties of the job
As a Band 6 Mental Health Practitioner your main duties will be: Complete both triage assessments and more detailed initial assessments of new referrals. Provide support via the team's duty system, either from telephone support or face to face. Develop specialist skills in working with patients with high levels of acuity and increasing complex mental health conditions and/or diagnosis of dementia. Support students and more junior staff within the team through clinical supervision and mentorship, and may be asked to line manage some staff. Work within a dynamic multi-disciplinary health team, demonstrating sound evidence-based practice and excellent communication and interpersonal skills. Manage complex cases in partnership with other agencies. About us
