Job Overview
Work with individuals who are in crisis and having difficulty coping to prevent hospital admission by providing acute intervention packages that enable the individual to remain at home. You will hold a specialist case load as referred and work flexibly, intensively, and responsively to clients’ needs by generating ideas and making recommendations.
Those individuals using the service have severe, enduring, and highly complex mental health needs. The aim of intervention is to deliver a high standard of care in the home, offering an alternative to potential hospital admission. The post holder also facilitates early discharge from hospital to reduce inpatient stay by monitoring and managing the risk of caring for someone who is still acutely ill in their own home.
You are required to assess need, formulate, implement, and evaluate care plans for the designated specialist case load and maintain associated records, taking into account all aspects of risk management.
Main Duties
The post holder is part of a multi‑disciplinary team providing Home Treatment for people experiencing an acute mental health episode. A key role is to gate‑keep admissions to acute inpatient care and provide Home Treatment where appropriate. The team also seeks to reduce inpatient stays by facilitating early discharge wherever appropriate.
Individuals who receive service from the Home Treatment Team have complex and acute needs. The aim is to avoid hospital admission by delivering a quality service based on individual needs in the community. The role also includes assessing suitability for early discharge from the ward by conducting a thorough assessment of risk prior to discharge.
The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; Welsh and/or English speakers are equally welcome to apply.
