If you enjoy the complexity, challenge and fast pace of working in acute mental health this role is for you. As a member of this multi-disciplinary Crisis Home Treatment Team you will be supporting people experiencing a crisis in addition to those who may be experiencing a relapse in their diagnosed mental illness.
We support patients, family members and carers and remain committed to the recovery model and a holistic way of working in their homes, offering a variety of therapeutic interventions and support to aid recovery.
In the multi-disciplinary team, you would be working with the Team Leader, Discharge Lead and Clinical Nurse Specialist, Consultant Psychiatrist, Psychologists, Urgent Care Practitioners, Senior Support Workers and Peer Support Workers.
Main duties of the job
The role of this team is varied and plays a central role within the urgent care pathway. You will be liaising with other mental health services and agencies, in addition to acute inpatient units, being responsible for early discharge assessments.
This role will involve attending and contributing to multi agency professionals' meetings. It is preferable to have some experience of working in acute care (inpatient setting/crisis team/mental health liaison team) and the ability to work autonomously is essential. In this post you will be working flexible hours to enable the team to provide a 7‑day service.
Chichester and Bognor CRHTT cover a large geographical area (Arundel, Bognor Regis, Wittering's, Selsey, Southbourne, Midhurst, Pulborough, Petworth). Therefore, having access to your own transport is essential or you must be able to demonstrate your ability to travel across the patch in an efficient and timely manner. Please contact the team leader if you wish to discuss this further.
This is a seven day per week service from 7.30 to 21.30, which may necessitate some shift work and unsocial hours with enhancements.
