Leeds, United Kingdom Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust Full time

CREST (community rehabilitation and enhanced support team) are expanding and looking for mental health practitioners to support individuals transitioning out of locked rehabilitation into step down and independent placements in the community.The role will involve coordinating the care of individuals in line with changes in national direction of the Care Programme Approach and offering evidence-based interventions to address core rehabilitation needs as well as manage risk within a community setting.

CRESTs approach focuses on providing different ways of working with individuals who have spent long periods of time in hospital, to improve outcomes for this service user group. We strive to think creatively to ensure the highest quality of care and are committed to continuous improvement and adapting to the needs of the population.

CREST support individuals within complex rehabilitation to address barriers to discharge, assess their rehabilitation needs and identify how these could be successfully supported in a least restrictive environment. The varied needs of the service users within CREST’s caseload and their long history of support within inpatient environments mean that CREST need to take an innovative approach to support to ensure successful outcomes.

The post holder will work closely alongside the existing and developing MDT within the service. In addition to being part of a supportive, specialist team, there is also a strong focus on co-production and multi-agency working, with many of the caseload being supported by private hospital providers, supported living and a range of statutory and non-statutory organisations.

If successful, you will be responsible for a small caseload in line with the care programme approach of service users supported by the wider multi-disciplinary team and on a day-to-day basis work within the framework of the team approach. You must have good working knowledge of the principles of recovery and practice clinically in a way that promotes therapeutic optimism and hope with service users who present with Complex Emotional Needs.

The Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (LYPFT) is the main provider of Mental Health and Learning Disability services in Leeds. We also provide specialist inpatient services in York and some highly specialised services across the country. As a teaching trust with strong links to local universities, we are a centre of excellence for teaching, research and development.

There are many benefits of working for LYPFT including fantastic employee wellbeing support, 27 - 33 days annual leave, flexible working and remote working arrangements, the NHS Pension Scheme (LYPFT pays 20.6% into your scheme each year), coaching, support and opportunities for career development and training and education support alongside a range of exclusive discounts and payment schemes including for cars, extra leave days and more organisations such as Blue Light Card, Health Service Discounts and NHS Discount Offers.

Assessment will form a key part of CREST’s role, with referrals coming from case managers across the West Yorkshire region for individuals who are within, or on occasion being considered for, out of area rehabilitation with CRESTs focus being on identifying their current needs, barriers to establishing a discharge pathway and making recommendations on interventions that would support them in their discharge pathway.

You would also be required to coordinate the delivery of care within the role of duty worker, ensuring the effective prioritisation of care and resources. There will be the need for close liaison with service users, carers and loved ones, other service providers and the wider MDT to ensure high-quality care is delivered.

This role is a great opportunity for registered practitioners with an interest in rehabilitation to assess, plan and deliver interventions to a caseload of service users which focuses on their rehabilitation needs and supports them working towards their recovery goals. We are a psychologically and trauma informed service which benefits from a diverse MDT to work to support individuals with severe and enduring mental illness (SMI) and/or complex emotional needs (CEN). Our SMI pathway is currently operational and our CEN pathway is in development aiming to launch in new year and are currently recruiting for both pathways. Informal enquiries and visits to the service are welcomed.

CREST was established as part of the complex rehabilitation project with the aim to support repatriation from locked rehabilitation placements and a strong focus on empowering service users and carers in being actively involved their recovery journey.

The Complex Rehabilitation project is part of the West Yorkshire Integrated Care System (WYICS) Programme for Mental Health and Learning Disability. Consultation with service users, carer’s, commissioners and mental health providers has highlighted the service user experience and challenges f
