You will be able to work autonomously and be willing and able to develop your skills and knowledge for this specialist role.

You will be involved in completing holistic assessments and delivering evidence-based therapeutic interventions to people on our caseload.

The team are trialling an innovative way of working, where Community Practitioners will have a flexible framework of either assessment and duty or care coordination as their primary role.

Therefore, as a care coordinator, your role will have more emphasis on planned therapeutic work and as an assessment clinician you will have more freedom to respond to incoming referrals and ad-hoc duty work without existing diary commitments.


The service is committed to developing the skills of practitioners, so there will be ongoing opportunities to work within either assessment or care coordination roles, whilst also having the opportunity to gain further therapeutic skills through training.

Provide specialist clinical advice to Service Users/Carers, staff, statutory agencies, 3rd sector partner agencies and the public.


In collaboration with the Service User and Carer where appropriate, develop Recovery and Wellbeing focused Care Plans, ensuring regular reviews to monitor progress and adapt Care Plan as necessary.

To consider Carer needs and ensure Carer and family are involved in Care Planning where appropriate

To deliver evidenced based Clinical and Psychologically based Interventions.


The post holder will work as a member of the Multi-disciplinary Team ensuring that high quality individualised care is delivered which ensures safety and a commitment to promoting recovery and wellbeing and maximising independence.

Coordinate Treatment Planning & Interventions, Reviews and Discharge Planning.

Provide clinical supervision to staff as delegated by Pathway Clinical Lead and Pathway Manager.

To provide compassionate care that is based on empathy, kindness, respect and dignity.


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.

In return we can offer a dynamic working environment in which to build a career.
