Cambridge, United Kingdom Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We are looking to recruit a full-time Band 5 Mental Health Practitioner to work within our Personality Disorder Service. This will be an exciting opportunity to develop continuing practice and role development skills. It is a post suitable for either an experienced Band 5 mental health practitioner looking to develop their knowledge base or, a newly/soon to be qualified member of staff and preceptorship will be fully supported.

This post will be based at our office in Chesterton Medical Centre, Cambridge but also having the ability and flexibility to travel to our other bases throughout Cambridgeshire, Peterborough, Huntingdon and Wisbech.

The service has undergone an innovative redesign and is embarking on an exciting phase of delivering a high-quality service which strives for excellence for its service users. PDCS is part of the Exemplar project in Peterborough, working closely with the community and other services.

There are a variety of areas within the team that would give valuable experience. We have varied treatment pathways from short term management of risk presentations, moderate term group treatment pathways and longer-term caseloads that give the opportunity to develop some structured clinical intervention skills. There are a wide range of weekly work plans from working in the duty team, facilitating groups, case load management, along with taking part in group reflection and supervision, training and education.

The service provides evidence-based treatment protocols for patients with moderate to severe personality disorder which cover three main areas of impairment that the illness can present: namely psychological, occupational and social, with a specific focus on managing high chronic risk.

Cambridgeshire & Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust is a health & social care organisation dedicated to providing high quality care with compassion to improve the health & wellbeing of the people we care for, as well as supporting & empowering them to lead a fulfilling life.

Our clinical teams deliver many NHS services not only via inpatient and primary care setting but also with the community. These services include Children, Adult & Older Peoples mental & physical health, Forensic & Specialist mental health, Learning Disabilities, Primary Care & Liaison psychiatry, Substance misuse, Social care, Research & Development.
