The St Helens & Knowsley Early Intervention in Psychosis Team are looking for a part time practitioner, operating working hours of 9am-5pm.
Are you looking for a change in career and do you like working in a challenging and rewarding setting? Do you want to build on and enhance the high level of skills and experience you already possess, why not consider this opportunity to join the Early Intervention in Psychosis team? The service works with people between the ages of 14 - 65 who are experiencing a first episode of psychosis.
We are looking for qualified, motivated, enthusiastic, self-directed mental health practitioners to join the team as a Care Co-ordinator with opportunities to be part of our assessment team. You will be involved in the patient journey from triage, assessment through to offering interventions supporting service users to recover from psychosis.
The service delivers both managerial supervision and clinical supervision from specialist staff. There is in-house training on all aspects of the service including psychological formulation, Family Interventions, CBT skills and assessment skills. Preferably you will have experience of working in a community setting, but this is not essential.
Service Users will fall under the relevant team based on their GP location and catchment area. As a practitioner, you will be based in one team so that we can deliver care safely, efficiently, and effectively. If successful, you will be part of a multi disciplinary team delivering a range of evidence-based interventions that fall within NICE guidelines.
Each team consists of a lead Consultant Psychiatrist, Team Leader, Clinical Lead, Care Coordinators, Psychology Team, Family Therapists, Support Time Recovery Workers, and IPS workers. The successful candidate will work along side all members of the team to ensure a holistic, recovery focus is maintained throughout the service user pathway.
The successful candidate will also work in partnership with other agencies/teams, such as CJLT, CRHT, social care and addictions services, to promote a collaborative focus on care.
We fully promote professional/personal training and development, and there are opportunities to train in-house and CPD and develop your clinical skills through supervision, complex case discussions, and reflective practice. We also provide CAARMS training, which is a specialist assessment for psychosis, and further training on how to deliver family interventions.
We are a supportive team, and the post holder would have support from the Service Managers, Clinical Leads.
