This includes liaising with partner agencies to ensure the removal of barriers preventing dual diagnosis clients from accessing mental health services. You will be attending monthly complex case meetings to review clients’ where you will review clients’ mental health needs with other professionals. The role also requires a good understanding and ability to assess and manage risks related to both mental health difficulties and substance consumptions.

We need you to have a Doctorate in Clinical, Counselling or Forensic Psychology or RMN or CQSW/DipSW or Occupational Therapist, with an understanding of recovery models/approaches and a good understanding of mental health issues and the way in which they are managed (including knowledge of the mental health act, mental capacity act and care program approach). You need to be able to understand and manage risks and clients’ safeguarding for both adult and young clients. Acting as a professional role model, you will also take part in clinical supervision and offer supervision to more junior members of staff. You will ideally have experience of working in the community, although this is not essential. As a part of your role, you will be expected to travel across the different areas to support our service users and staff, hence holding a driving license and having access to a car are strongly desirable.
