Do you want to be part of something new and exciting, a person-centred mental health revolution?

Together, we're stronger. Join the multi-agency drive for better mental health care.

We have an exciting opportunity for clinicians to join our leadership team at Medway CMHT.

You will be a registered clinician with considerable experience working with patients with a variety of mental health conditions. Experience in leading teams and supporting teams through change will be valuable. Experience in working autonomously and as part of a team would be advantageous.

You will be a key part of the management team and as such will be required to support your team through supervision, and mentorship. You will be a confident decision maker who will be comfortable in making decisions on appropriate pathways of care for patients referred to our service.

The role is to act as a senior decision-maker for patients referred to the Mental Health Together Service; ensuring the most appropriate onward pathways are identified and prompt assessment and interventions offered.

The post-holder will act in a supervisory capacity to support practitioners in decision-making for the most complex and / or high risk referrals.
The post-holder will offer expert advice and support to all professionals referring into the Mental Health Together service and have excellent relationships with all internal and external partner agencies, including primary care, adult social care and the third sector.
The post holder will work in collaboration with the Mental Health Together Team Manager to ensure the highest standards of practice and service delivery.
The post holder will contribute to the transformation of community mental health services in line with the Trust’s strategic objectives.
The post-holder will support decision-making at all stages of a person’s journey through Mental Health Together and deputise for the Team Manager in their absence.

Come and work with us in the Garden of England where we combine exceptional professional development opportunities with a tremendous quality of life.

We are Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust (KMPT), providing mental health, learning disability and specialist services, serving 1.8 million people in Kent and Medway, as well as specialist services for adults in Sussex and Surrey. We are rated Good overall by the CQC.

Each year we care for over 2,000 people in our hospitals and 54,000 people in the community.

We are proud to employ over 3,700 people from 66 nationalities, and to serve an increasingly diverse range of communities across rural and urban areas.

You will be joining friendly, passionate colleagues, rich in their diversity, who are committed to providing excellent care to our service users and their loved ones.

The nature of our work attracts kindness and compassion as standard and everyone from our cleaners and porters to the chief executive and chairman are recognised as playing a vital role in providing an exemplary service.

Our strategy

Our mission is what we set out to do every day
We deliver brilliant care through brilliant people

Our vision is where we want to be in the future
To provide outstanding care and to work in partnership to deliver this in the right place, for every service user, every time.

What is Mental Health Together?

In Kent and Medway, the community mental health transformation has created a new service model called Mental Health Together.

It is a multi-agency offer, which means bringing all the services and agencies that support people with varying mental health needs much closer together. This ensures that people get the right care, without having to navigate service boundaries and without repeatedly telling their story.

Mental Health Together will add new roles, as part of a new joined-up model of care which bridges the gap that currently exists between primary (i.e. GPs) and community mental health (i.e. KMPT). It will treat people with complex mental health needs by:
Providing someone with support in a person-centered, holistic way
Removing barriers to access, and thresholds across services working together
Involving service users and carers as equal partners in their care
Building in involvement and co-production at all levels of service design delivery
Delivering needs-led and personalized trauma-informed care.
