Hi, my name is Mike and I am the Service Manager for both Peterborough and Cambridge CRHTT’s. This post is for the Peterborough team but we have positions both ends of the county. We are HTAS accredited, reflecting the high standard of care we provide, and have great opportunities for personal growth and development.

Covering a large geographical area, rich with diversity, team is made up of very experienced staff, of various disciplines, all with their own unique brilliance.

You will be responsible for conducting comprehensive assessments and collaboratively planning care and treatment interventions with those we are supporting. This includes effectively managing high risk presentations at times, so requires a good knowledge base and comprehensive skill in risk management and safety planning.

Our aim is to offer an urgent Mental Health Assessment and Home Treatment for those referred and assessed as requiring the services of the Team.

Identify the appropriate intervention or management required or if necessary, recommend the most suitable referral agency.

Provide assessment reports/letters containing the necessary information of a high standard and monitor reports by junior staff to ensure they are of an equal standard.

To contribute to achieving the Teams objectives, monitoring, and evaluating workloads through effective clinical leadership.

Be conversant and proactive with Government legislation pertaining to the Mental Health Act, Mental Capacity Act, Crisis Care Concordat, NHS Plan and Clinical Governance.

Encourage, promote, and maintain effective communication with partner agencies both statutory and non-statutory.

Cambridgeshire & Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust is a health & social care organisation dedicated to providing high quality care with compassion to improve the health & wellbeing of the people we care for, as well as supporting & empowering them to lead a fulfilling life.
