Christchurch, United Kingdom Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Christchurch & Southbourne Community Mental Health Team are looking for a Mental Health Practitioner to join our well established team as an Assessment and Duty worker.

If you are a RMN or Social Worker, with experience working with people suffering severe mental illness whether this be inpatient or community based we would love to hear from you.

You would work alongside 1 other duty worker; working together to triage all referrals that come into the CMHT (with support from the team leader, Psychiatrists, Psychologist & ANP) and gather more information and arrange assessments. The role also entails taking telephone calls from people on Medic caseloads and CCO’s when unavailable.

The team is a very supportive team and you will have case management supervision, clinical supervision, Relective Practice and opportunities for training.

We would be happy to tell you more about the post and/or arrange an informal visit for you to come to our service.

To provide a high quality person centred approach to care delivery which always considers people’s safety, privacy and dignity.

To provide specialist care and interventions, assessments, treatments and managing patients on a caseload, as part of the wider multi-disciplinary care team.

To provide specialist advice to others regarding the management and care of patients / service users.

To devise specialist programmes of care for other professionals to deliver and ensure they are delivered appropriately.

To plan, implement and review health improvement programmes in a range of settings.

Provide supervision, mentorship, training and clinical support to students and trained practitioners.

Employment in this post requires an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, which the Trust will cover the cost of. Applicants who subscribe to the DBS update service are able to present a valid DBS certificate instead of requiring a new check.

At Dorset HealthCare we’re on a mission to empower people to make the most of their lives through our outstanding, joined-up healthcare services. We’re a dynamic, forward-looking Trust, running 12 community hospitals, specialist inpatient facilities and a wide range of integrated community and mental health services for a population of almost 800,000 people.

We do things differently here - it’s one of the reasons the CQC rated us ‘outstanding’ in 2019. It’s also why 95% of patients across our services say they have a good or very good experience of our services and 89% of staff feel they can really make a difference. Whether you’re looking to work with us in one of our bustling market towns, vibrant urban locations, thriving seaside spots, or among the rolling hills of Dorset, there are lots of ways you can make a difference in our communities.

Our 7,000-strong workforce is at the heart of what we do and our success is a testament to our brilliant people. We're all about building a workplace for the future, we believe in equal opportunities and we celebrate diversity. We’re an inclusive workplace, where everyone is welcome, everyone can be authentic, and we are all encouraged to be the best version of ourselves.

Working with us you’ll be part of a strong team, challenge yourself, build a career, and teach us what we don’t know. And you’ll be working towards our vision to be better every day through excellence, compassion and expertise in all we do.
