Join to apply for the Community Practitioner role at Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Band 6 Community Practitioner to work in the Step up Hub Team based at Palmer Community Hospital, Jarrow. We are a community based mental health rehabilitation team working with service users experiencing Psychosis, delivering evidence based interventions to support rehabilitation within a community setting. The Step up Hub service covers the population of South Tyneside and Sunderland, working with people who require intensive support to aid recovery in the community. We are a multi disciplinary team who work collaboratively with service users taking a holistic approach to care planning and delivery.
The successful candidate will work as part of the Step up Hub team and will have an interest in the mental health rehabilitation pathway. It would be extremely beneficial to have experience of working with service users with Psychosis; however, there are excellent opportunities for training in the Pathway.
Working within an experienced and highly motivated clinical team you will be part of a service engaged in ensuring the best possible practice in contemporary mental health care implementing NICE guidelines. Your job role will be to provide assessment and treatment to service users, their families and carers, whilst working collaboratively with other professionals and agencies.
Responsibilities include:
* Be responsible for the assessment and management of casework of service users who have substantial and complex needs.
* Provide specialist clinical advice to service users, carers, staff, statutory agencies, 3rd sector partner agencies and the public.
* In collaboration with the service users, develop recovery focused care plans, ensuring regular reviews to monitor progress and adapt care plans as necessary.
* Consider carer needs and ensure carers and family are involved in care planning where appropriate consent is in place.
* Deliver evidenced based clinical and psychologically based interventions.
* Work as a member of the Multi-disciplinary Team to ensure high quality individualised care, promoting recovery and wellbeing and maximising independence.
* Coordinate treatment planning and interventions, reviews and discharge planning.
* Provide clinical supervision to staff as delegated by the Pathway Manager.
* Provide compassionate care based on empathy, kindness, respect and dignity.
* Incorporate a client-centred philosophy into nursing practice and client-centred collaborative care.
* Work flexibly to meet the needs of the Service Users and the organisation.
We aim to attract and retain a diverse, talented and committed workforce who are caring and compassionate and therefore able to meet the demands of the modern NHS now and in the future. We offer a dynamic working environment in which to build a career. You will need to be clinically experienced, solution focused and competent in working with individuals, their families, and carers, in a community setting. You should have a collaborative and enthusiastic approach as well as the passion and commitment to develop and promote recovery based interventions for adults with mental health related needs.
