Overview
We are looking for an experienced clinician to join Swindon Intensive Service leadership team as a senior practitioner. The senior practitioner will be involved with and support complex and high risk situations; experience of managing and leading on complex cases which require a MDT approach is essential. The post-holder will provide leadership support to the team and coordinate day to day activities alongside the shift co-ordinator, as well as being actively involved with treatment of the most complex service users on the caseload. This would be done alongside support from the wider leadership team.
The senior practitioner would support the team to work effectively and in line with best practice. They would provide consultation and training where required and they would support with supervision of staff, including reflective practice sessions. The post holder would lead on quality improvement projects and support the team to learn from incidents.
We are looking for a registered practitioner, who can bring a wealth of knowledge, mental health experience and strong leadership skills into our dynamic, friendly and experienced team. The Band 7 Senior Practitioner will clinically lead the team alongside other Band 7s in the leadership team. They will empower, develop, and support the whole MDT; doing this with compassion, kindness and inclusivity.
This role includes a focus on clinical quality, and the senior practitioner will lead on patient safety and quality improvement across the whole caseload. Excellent communication skills are essential, both with colleagues in the team and external partner agencies.
Working in the Intensive Service is fast paced and requires the ability to make complex decisions around service user care rapidly, whilst ensuring that plans made are safe for all involved. The post holder will need to balance their time between clinical front line duties, supporting the wider team, and leadership tasks such as QI projects and implementing learning from incidents.
