Oxford, United Kingdom Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Full time

An exciting opportunity to join the Crisis Assessment and Response team as an Assessor has arisen.

The postholder will provide care to people who are in crisis to return to their usual level of activity (baseline) before requiring support. Where this is not possible the team will identify further support and/or long-term care needs and make appropriate referrals.

The postholder will also be required to line manage the Patient Support Workers.

The Crisis Assessment and Response team (CARe) is looking for Assessors to join our community based team.

The CARe team supports individuals in their own home, or usual place of residence with the overall goal of preventing hospital admissions and supports individuals who are in crisis to return to their usual level of activity (baseline) before requiring support.

The Crisis Assessment and Response team works alongside Oxford Health as part of the Urgent Community Response pathway and responds to urgent two hour referrals.

The team operates 7 days a week from 7am-10pm, this includes Bank Holidays.

The team covers the whole of Oxfordshire, so it is essential that the postholder has a full UK driving licence and a reliable car available for work.

The CARe team has the following two bases, Unipart Business House and Horton General Hospital. You will be assigned to the base closest to where you live, for mileage purposes but will be required to cover the whole of Oxfordshire.

The Trust comprises four hospitals - the John Radcliffe Hospital, Churchill Hospital and Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Headington and the Horton General Hospital in Banbury.

Our values, standards and behaviours define the quality of clinical care we offer and the professional relationships we make with our patients, colleagues and the wider community. We call this Delivering Compassionate Excellence and its focus is on our values of compassion, respect, learning, delivery, improvement and excellence. These values put patients at the heart of what we do and underpin the quality healthcare we would like for ourselves or a member of our family. Watch how we set out to deliver compassionate excellence via the OUH YouTube channel.

7. To line manage an allocated group of Patient Support Workers ensuring timely monitoring, supervisions and appraisals.
