Senior Practitioner Band 6 role working in the Crisis Resolution Home Treatment Team
Do you want to make a difference to the care that people receive? Do you want to influence change? Then come and join our team at Great Yarmouth Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Team. We are a unique team integrated to the ward and our day‑care facilities as a partial hospitalisation service which enhances and supports patient‑centred care to provide a smooth transition throughout our services to ensure that the highest quality of care is received for all patients and carers.
Within this role you will also carry out emergency assessments from Community Teams, GP's and A&E Out of Hours in view of gate‑keeping possible admissions, ongoing care or referral to external teams. The team also visits Service Users at home to plan and implement care packages for Crisis and Home Treatment Team patients.
As a team we embrace a Quality Improvement approach.
Here at NSFT we pride ourselves on being a welcoming, talented, friendly and supportive team who like nothing better than sharing experiences and learning from each other. In addition to ongoing training and development opportunities, we are committed to providing an environment in which you can thrive.
This post attracts a recruitment premium of £3,000 (pro-rata for part‑time roles). This is a one‑off payment with half paid on appointment and half paid after the completion of a satisfactory probation period (6 months). The premium is taxable. If you leave employment or move to an alternative post within the Trust that does not attract this recruitment premium, you will be required to reimburse all or part of it: 100% of the value of the premium in the first 12 months; 50% in the period 12 months to 2 years following appointment. The recruitment premium is for external applicants only and does not apply to newly qualified applicants.
EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES: Apart from its legal duties in relation to equality and diversity, the Trust recognises and actively promotes the benefits of a diverse workforce and is committed to treating all employees with dignity and respect regardless of race, gender, disability, age, sexual orientation, religion or belief.
