The team focuses on supporting individuals who historically have struggled to engage with standard community mental health team processes and are at high risk of relapsing or admission into inpatient services.
The role will contribute to the clinical leadership of the service across either the county and will be supported by the wider leadership team.
You will provide input into teams via consultation, supervision and training, and provide highly specialist assessment and intervention for patients with complex mental needs.
You will be involved in the on-going development of the service. The role encourages liaison across other inpatient and community services both within the Trust and with other supporting agencies due to the nature of the patient group.
The post holder is responsible for providing highly specialist psychological assessment and interventions to patients with complex mental health difficulties.

The benefits of working in Somerset include the idyllic countryside, with our areas of outstanding beauty and stunning coastlines. You will get to enjoy these perks whilst still only being a stone’s throw away from bustling city centres like Bristol, Bath and Exeter and only two hours away from London.
