Are you an experienced Mental Health clinician (Registered Nurse, Social Worker, or Occupational Therapist)?
Are you interested in working with an outstanding Trust to develop and deliver community treatment in mental health?
We are seeking to recruit a FACT Clinical Lead to join the Adult Community Mental Health Service (ACMHS) in St Albans.
The Flexible Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) team provides assertive support to a wider range of individuals who require an enhanced level of support for a specific time period.
The FACT team operates as a mini team within the wider adult community services, working 7 days per week, 9-5 pm. The team supports individuals and their families experiencing mental illness, including those already open to the adult mental health service who might experience deterioration, those ready to leave hospital after a period of care, and newly referred individuals who would benefit from time-limited, focused intervention to support their recovery.
The service provides time-limited, personalized pathways of care aimed at achieving better social, emotional, and psychological outcomes. Interventions include practical care and support, social care enablement, psychologically informed interventions, and medication monitoring.
You will manage Mental Health & Wellbeing Practitioners, Support Time and Recovery (STaR) workers, and other staff, ensuring their deployment meets service user needs. You will also maintain a clinical role and/or caseload depending on sector needs.
You will contribute to the development and implementation of policies and procedures at a local level.
On occasion, you may provide support to the ACMHS leadership staff as directed by the Community Mental Health Services Manager in their absence, as agreed with the Service Line Leader.
You will ensure, in collaboration with other professionals, that practice meets standards set by HPFT and relevant professional bodies.
