Job overview
We're offering an exciting opportunity to work with the East Kent Early Intervention in Psychosis Mental Health service (EIP) as a Band 6 clinician to work in the East EIP service covering Canterbury and Ashford localities.
The role includes:
* Managing a caseload of clients experiencing their first episode psychosis with complex needs, using evidence-based and client-centered principles to assess, plan, implement, and evaluate interventions.
* Collaborating with service users, staff, and carers to identify goals and deliver appropriate intervention/recovery plans that maximize engagement, performance, and independence while balancing risk.
* Contributing professionally to a multidisciplinary team to support safe, effective, and high-quality mental health services aligned with current policies, practices, and standards.
* Monitoring, evaluating, and modifying therapeutic interventions to measure progress and enhance efficacy for optimal service user outcomes and experiences.
* Working with other professionals within the service, including substance misuse workers, peer support workers, STR workers, Non-Medical Prescribers, pharmacists, medics, psychologists, and Individual Placement Support, to ensure comprehensive support tailored to individual and family needs.
Main duties of the job
Specialist Care Coordinators manage capped caseloads to allow for focused, innovative interventions in partnership with service users, families, and carers, promoting recovery, social inclusion, and well-being in line with NICE guidelines.
The service adheres to Access and Waiting Time standards, ensuring early access to NICE-concordant interventions. We adopt a strength and recovery-based approach to maximize self-determination and empowerment, emphasizing individual and family work, group activities, and collaboration with partner organizations, with a focus on co-production.
* Assess service users, analyze and interpret information to form accurate formulations of function, strengths, capabilities, and occupational needs.
* Collaborate with service users, staff, and carers to set goals and develop tailored intervention/recovery plans that promote engagement, performance, risk management, and independence.
* Monitor, evaluate, and adapt therapeutic interventions to optimize outcomes and service user experience.
* Support best practice in line with NICE guidance and professional standards as an experienced clinician.
