StokeonTrent, United Kingdom North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare NHS Trust Full time

We are looking for a motivated, enthusiastic individual to join Newcastle Adult Community Mental Health Team (Lyme Brook Centre), Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. The Team operates from its main base on the Bradwell Hospital Site (free parking) which serves an identified catchment area within Newcastle-under-Lyme and the surrounding areas.

The role compromises of assessments, triage and duty work. Assessments will be completed within our already established Assessment Team. We are continuing to develop pathways in our service and our Assessment Team plays a pivotal role in ensuring that our service users have access to the treatment that they require as swiftly as possible after referral. We are striving for our referral pathway to be efficient and effective and use a multi-disciplinary approach to our decision making. This role will include being part of our Assessment Team and offering routine assessments within 28 days, to individuals in our local community who have been referred to our service.

Alongside the assessment process, we also triage and manage all referrals coming into the centre on a daily basis, using our multi-disciplinary team. This role would make a significant contribution to this function and would help us ensure consistency and quality, as part of our triaging process. This will then feed smoothly into the assessment pathway.

The final aspect to the role is to act as duty professional on a rotational basis. Service Users have access to our 24/7 Crisis Care Centre for crisis situations and are directed to our Duty Professional for routine support and interventions. The Duty Professional provides support for Service Users not in crisis and may consist of home visits, 48-hour follow up appointments after discharge from inpatient services and support when Key Workers are unavailable. The Duty Professional will also liaise with other Professionals, ensuring high quality, Gold Standard care and support.

You will be working alongside a well-established, experienced and extremely supportive team of people, including Psychiatrists, Community Mental Health Nurses, Occupational Therapists, Support Workers, Pharmacists, Social Workers, Psychologists, Students, Administration and Primary Care Colleagues.

The Team promotes a positive work life balance and hybrid / home working can be negotiated for this role.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a forward thinking Team in a role that will positively influence the experience of Secondary Mental health Services, for our Service Users. Experience in completing assessments in a mental health setting would be advantageous.

Our Trust is on an incredible journey of innovation and we’d like you to be part of it.

Our vision is ‘To be Outstanding in all we do and how we do it.’ Our teams pride themselves on compassion, team work and resilience. The Trust supports you by offering a flexible shift system including twilight shifts and compressed hours to support working families and our staff parking is free on all our main sites.
