An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Band 7 Clinical Lead to join the Specialist Community Forensic Team (SCFT) within Somerset NHS Foundation Trust.
The Specialist Community Forensic Team is an innovative, commissioned service working in line with the South West Provider Collaborative. The team supports individuals with complex forensic mental health needs who are detained in secure hospital settings, with a focus on reducing lengths of stay, preventing unnecessary admissions, and supporting safe, wellplanned transitions back into the community.
The advertised role sits within a closeworking, multidisciplinary team delivering highquality, psychologically informed and riskmanaged care. Many individuals supported by SCFT return to the community under restricted sections of the Mental Health Act and therefore require intensive MDT support both pre and postdischarge.
The Clinical Lead will be a qualified mental health professional (RMN or Occupational Therapist) and will have responsibility for clinical leadership, oversight of care and clinical governance for a defined caseload of patients currently detained in secure hospitals and approaching discharge consideration.
The role is based in Bridgwater, with reimbursed travel across Somerset and the wider South West region, including secure hospital settings.
