London, Greater London, United Kingdom Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust Full time
Assistant Practitioner Therapist (band 4) Islington Community Mental Health Team


Assertive Outreach model works flexibly and creatively using team approach to engage service users in ways and places that acceptable to them.

Staff engages more closely while allowing enough room for autonomy for service users

Our objectives are to:

Use team approach to engage service users more assertively to promote recovery and reduce number of readmissions to hospital
Use a Recovery orientated approach in all our work with service users and carers.
To respect service users as experts by experience
To always treat service users with dignity and respect
To engage service users collaboratively through Dialogue + care planning
To agree individual, tailored care plans with service users and their carers
To provide support to carers so that they can continue to support their relative.


Transfer back the service user users to recovery teams and other community mental health teams once good engagement has been established.


We are looking to recruit an Assistant Practitioner who shares our passion to strive towards excellence in people's mental health and social care and who affiliates with our Trust's culture pillars where staff and service users feel safe, valued and are empowered.


As an assistant practitioner you will be responsible for supporting the team to deliver a range of health and/or social care interventions.

You will have a small caseload of patients who require low-level or preventative interventions. You will take a lead on supporting carers, which will include carrying out an assessment under the Care Act. You will be supported by a multidisciplinary team.

We are a busy and dynamic service and caseloads are reflective of this. This requires you to have good organisational skills and an ability to work flexibly as part of the team.

The role involves visiting patients at home and you therefore must be able to get around Islington using Public Transport and/or walking/cycling.


You'll be able to demonstrate experience in working with adults' mental health care and have good communication and interpersonal skills.

You should have some understanding of the wider health and social care system.

Being computer literate is a must and you have to be able to use Word, Excel and other relevant IT systems.

We're keen to recruit someone with the right values and behaviours who can help us deliver our Trust priorities:
Early and effective intervention

Helping people to live well

Research and innovation

Keeping our service users, carers and staff safe


If you have the right values for the Camden & Islington NHS Foundation Trust you will be supported by a programme of continuous training and development.

The position offers opportunities to get involved in Quality Improvement projects and to become champion/lead in specific area relevant to the role.


The partnership between Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust (BEH) and Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust (C&I) is going from strength to strength since it was originally established in 2021 forming the North London Mental Health Partnership.

The postholder will need to be comfortable working in an environment of complex matrix management arrangements and will at all times behave and align with our Trusts' values and cultural pillars.

In order to meet the needs of the new Partnership services you may be required from time to time to work at different locations to your normal place of work.

This may mean that you are required to work at any location that fall under Barnet, Enfield and Harringay Trust and Camden and Islington Trust.

The Trust reserves the right to require staff to work at such other places or locations as it considers reasonable and necessary on a temporary or permanent basis.
