We have an exciting opportunity for a care coordinator to join the Greenwich Early Intervention team.

The Early Intervention for Psychosis Service across the Trust is dynamic, well trained and enthusiastic about implementing evidence based approaches to supporting clients on their recovery journey. The successful post holder will be motivated, flexible and creative in their approach to engaging clients and will have experience of delivering evidence based psychosocial interventions to people experiencing psychosis.

The post holder will be closely supported in the team and will have the opportunity to participate in training and development as part of the team’s continuing professional development programme.

EIP Care coordinators are required to coordinate the full range of psychological, pharmacological, social and occupational interventions recommended in NICE guidelines. Care should be coordinated across all relevant agencies encompassing the whole psychosis care pathway. A person-centred, integrated approach to providing services is fundamental to delivering high-quality care to people with psychosis.
