Join to apply for the Band 6 Specialist Intensive Practitioner - Devizes role at Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust
We are looking to recruit a Band 6 Specialist Practitioner to join our team. We are looking for a motivated and enthusiastic individual, who is looking for a new challenge, working in an ever evolving service. If you are looking to move from inpatient to community, or are a Band 5 ready to step into a specialist role, then we would love to hear from you too. The team has an excellent developmental support package for stepping up into a Band 6 role from a Band 5.
The NWIS is a great place to work allowing you to develop excellent clinical skills, but also leadership skills which you may not get from other roles due to the fast paced and high acuity nature of the service. The team has nurtured many clinicians with personalised training options - from a clinical and leadership perspective. Many of these clinicians have gone on to achieve promotions in the locality which has opened up roles within the team. The Band 6 clinician will work shifts, and this includes evenings and weekends. We are glad to report that there will be no night working. You have the options to request some shifts and we also support flexible working. We would consider full time and part time applications, with flexible working agreements also being considered.
We have recently moved away from the 24 hour working model, so this position will not include any night shifts. The service now operates between 0730 - 2200.
Previous applicants need not apply.
The Band 6 will have a role leading the team.
Within This Role They May
* Triage referrals to the service and make recommendations.
* Complete holistic psychosocial assessments within the community.
* Complete gatekeeping assessments to facilitate admission when home treatment is not felt to be a viable / safe option.
* Attend Mental Health Act assessments on Bluebell Place of Safety, and formulate home treatment plans if home treatment is indicated.
* Implement Risk Management and Care Plans for the effective home treatment of Service Users utilising least restrictive practice at every opportunity.
* Support with medication management and concordance within community.
* Provide telephone support to service users who ring in during times of crisis.
There will be a comprehensive induction to the role and a supported period of supernumerary to aid with transition.
