Are you an experienced Mental Health clinician (Registered Nurse, Social Worker, or Occupational Therapist)?
Are you interested in working with an outstanding Trust to develop and deliver community treatment in mental health?
We are seeking to recruit a FACT Clinical Lead to join the Adult Community Mental Health Service (ACMHS) in St Albans.
The Flexible Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) team provides assertive support to a wider range of individuals who require an enhanced level of support for a specific time period.
The FACT team operates as a mini team within the wider adult community services 7 days per week, 9-5 pm. The FACT team works with individuals and their families experiencing a mental illness. This includes those already open to the adult mental health service who might experience a deterioration in their mental health, those ready to leave the hospital after a period of care, and those newly referred into services who would benefit from time-limited, focused intervention to support their recovery.
The service will provide time-limited, personalised pathways of care to achieve better social, emotional, and psychological outcomes. The range of interventions will vary from practical care and support to the delivery of social care enablement interventions, psychologically informed interventions, and the monitoring of medication.
Main duties of the job
You will manage Mental Health & Wellbeing Practitioners and Support Time and Recovery (STaR) workers and other staff, ensuring that the needs of service users are met through the effective deployment of these staff. You will also maintain a clinical role and/or a caseload dependent on sector need. You will contribute at a local level to the development and implementation of policies and procedures. You will lead and may on occasion provide support to the ACMHS leadership staff as directed by the Community Mental Health Services Manager in his or her absence, as agreed with the Service Line Leader. You will ensure, in collaboration with other professional colleagues, that professional practice meets standards set by HPFT and/or professional statutes and bodies.
