As a registered professional, this is an ideal opportunity for someone who wants to develop their leadership and clinical skills in a community setting. As a core member of the team, you will also be responsible for delivering intervention in the community with people who have complex needs, ranging from mild to moderate level of need to severe and enduring level of need and complexity.
You will ensure that the service users' recovery goals are identified and central to their Safety plans, promoting social inclusion, independence and well-being. You will demonstrate excellent assessment skills, interpersonal, and team working skills and be able to work collaboratively with a range of statutory and third sector agencies.
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced practitioner to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team. The North Durham Community Mental Health Team is a newly developed team working across the Derwentside and Chester-Le-Street area.
As a senior practitioner, you will have a genuine interest in collaborative working with people of varying ages and complex needs, including service users, Carers, families and our partners including statutory and voluntary agencies. The successful candidate will participate in a range of interventions working across the Hub and Intervention teams including triage, complex assessments, depot clinics, diagnostic assessments for the neuro diverse client group and psychosocial interventions.
The successful candidate may also be required to provide ongoing coaching support, clinical and caseload supervision to junior colleagues and wider members of the MDT. Candidates must have 18 months post qualifying experience including sign off of appropriate preceptorship or competency framework. You will have an enthusiastic approach towards your own personal and professional development.
In return, you will receive regular appraisal, clinical, management and caseload supervision and will benefit from the support of an experienced and committed multi-disciplinary leadership team. Due to the nature of the role, it is essential that applicants are able to travel independently across the locality and have access to a suitable vehicle for business purposes.
