Join to apply for the Senior Mental Health Practitioner role at Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust (CPFT)
We are the South Cambridge Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Team (CRHTT), providing 24/7 care for service users experiencing an acute mental health crisis, to support them to stay in their own home rather than being admitted to hospital. We are based in Cambridge, Essex and Hertfordshire.
We are looking for Senior Mental Health Practitioners to join our team. Whether you are a Mental Health Nurse, Occupational Therapist or Social Worker we have an opportunity for you in our team. We are a true MDT and no profession’s voice is louder than another’s.
These roles provide fantastic learning and development opportunities. You will gain experience working with service users with a wide range of presentations and diagnoses. Additionally, you’ll develop your risk assessment skills, crisis management, assessment skills and delivery of brief psychological interventions.
You will have the opportunity to work with a wide range of clinicians who will support you to develop your skills and understanding of mental illness. We are eager for our staff to develop professionally and have previously supported people to do their non-medical prescribing training, AMHP training and to train in psychological therapies.
As a Senior Mental Health Practitioner, you will be working within our multidisciplinary team to contribute to our provision of dynamic solution focussed care. In the Crisis Team we value the different perspectives brought by each of our colleagues. We work with service users experiencing an acute episode of mental illness, so it is vital that we work collaboratively to co-develop a plan to support our service users and their families.
You will be visiting service users in their own home to complete assessments. You will work with the MDT to plan and deliver interventions and work with other supporting services where appropriate.
Another significant part of the role is the management of the inpatient beds. We work on a rota to support the management of the inpatient beds. This is a critical role to ensure that the bed flow is supported and pro-actively managed and requires problem solving and decision-making skills.
Other Benefits From Joining Us Are
* Annual leave allowance 27 days plus bank holidays (depending on NHS service)
* Pension scheme
* Full-time/Part-time or job share opportunities
* Salary sacrifice scheme
* Staff discount scheme
* Professional leadership programs for experienced nurses through NHS Academy
* Stress awareness training
* Mindfulness training
* Counselling service
