Job overview
Are you a Mental Health Nurse, Occupational Therapist or Social Worker, looking for an opportunity to work within community mental health services?
If so, then we have an opportunity for you!
We have a fantastic opportunity for someone who is professionally registered and is looking for a team they can invest in – and also be invested and developed in.
Within the North Somerset Recovery (Community Mental Health) Team, we believe that supporting colleagues to meet their maximum potential is essential to providing great care.
Therefore, we are looking to appoint someone to a Band 6 position to develop their existing skills and work within in our Bipolar and Psychosis pathway within North Somerset Recovery Service.
This post is open to newly qualified social workers. In line with trust policy, all newly qualified social workers will be recruited initially at Band 5 level, regardless of advertised role banding. All NQSWs are expected to successfully complete their ASYE within 2 years of employment, unless there are exceptional circumstances in which case it may be agreed to extend this for a further 2 years.
If you have been appointed to an advertised Band 6 role this will be an automatic progression, following confirmation of your successful ASYE completion. If you have been appointed to a Band 5 post you will then be eligible to apply for a subsequent Band 6 vacancy upon successful ASYE completion.
Main duties of the job
We are a multidisciplinary team consisting of a talented pool of both registered and non-registered mental health professionals.
This fantastic opportunity will ensure successful applicants have the necessary skill and experience to undertake the role of a Specialist Band 6 Practitioner.
Programme of work will include:
* Designated senior supervisor for the duration of the position.
* Relevant additional training courses as per development need.
* Focus on complex, remote and face to face assessment, formulation and clinical interventions such as CBT for psychosis alongside working closely with our Consultant Psychiatrists and NMPs to monitor and manage pharmacological interventions.
