The post-holder will be responsible for working with the Consultant Psychiatrist in the community and inpatient rehabilitation services.

The East Sussex Rehab Service also operates a community pathway with both short term and long term patients. The post holder will be working very closely within the multi-disciplinary team and taking an active role in patient management under the supervision of the Consultant Psychiatrist. This job will be divided, half in the community and half inpatient.

The rehab service has gone through extensive changes and we are looking to develop further liaison from private/voluntary sector providers for community activities and placements. There are two other inpatient rehabilitation units in the Trust and they have been close links within these units to offer a shared vision of recovery. The Trust’s rehab services aim to work closely with the Royal College to meet the standards set nationally.
