Do you want to be part of an innovative and exciting service that supports children and young people with acute mental health problems in their homes? If so then a role in the Closer2Home service may be the job for you We are looking for a mental health practitioner to join our team.
This service operates across Hampshire and Dorset and is delivered by three NHS Trusts who each provide a Closer2Home team for their local area. The teams work in an integrated way, supporting one another to provide the service with a shared management structure overseeing the service as a whole.
The Closer2Home teams work together to deliver a specialist service to help young people remain at home who otherwise would have been admitted to an inpatient hospital. The service operates 365 days a year from 8am-8pm. The Closer2Home team works intensively with young people in their homes to prevent admission.
Working as a team, you and your colleagues are responsible for designing and delivering time-limited programmes of intensive home treatment to young people with a range of needs, who would otherwise have been admitted to hospital. The team work collaboratively with community CAMHS, children’s services, colleagues involved in ‘transforming care,’ bed and case managers and local inpatient units; using an interagency approach to provide the best care for the young people.
The applicant will be expected to provide clinical leadership to their local Closer2Home team. Each team has been modelled to have an optimal number and skill mix of staff to effectively address the needs of the young people the service will support. The teams are integrated in a Wessex & Dorset wide system of clinical and operational governance, a new infrastructure that will utilise robust pre-admission care-planning, a ‘single point of access' for intensive home treatment and inpatient services, goal-setting at admission and supported inpatient discharge.
To operate as one fully integrated team staff are employed by one ‘host’ Trust but have honorary contractual agreements with the other Trusts to enable them to work across the whole service.
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.
