The triage team in Westminster South Hub is looking for a Primary Care Nurse, Social Worker or Occupational Therapist
The successful applicant may have contact with patients or service users. As an NHS Trust we strongly encourage and support vaccination as this remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course patients and service users when working on our healthcare settings.
This role involves assessment of patients presenting with mental health difficulties, a formulation of their needs and creative care planning to meet them working within a bio-psycho-social model. The role also requires liaison with agencies involved in their care, including GPs, Talking Therapies and other local organisations.
The post holder will be based at the South Westminster office of the service and will work as part of a multidisciplinary team providing assessment and treatment to adult patients.
As part of a national move to primary care networks, community services in Westminster have been transformed to mental health ‘Hubs’. Set in inner London (South Westminster) the Hub is a health and social care-integrated community mental health team.
The working environment is very supportive, with an established team culture of shared responsibility for caseload management, appreciation of and respect for the core skills and contribution of all disciplines.
The Hub provides integrated care to adults presenting with a broad range of mental health issues, drawn from a culturally and socio-economically diverse population.
The model of care is designed on a concept of movement and journey through services, promoting fluidity between primary care and secondary care and with local third sector and voluntary organisations that will support people in their journey to Recovery.
