Leeds, United Kingdom Community Links Full time

**OUTLINE OF POST**: This role is a key part of the multidisciplinary team in developing the ARMS pathway and early intervention ethos within aspire and other services/communities in Leeds. The focus is on being innovative and attending to best practice which would include providing direct input to individuals and families/social networks; contributing to meetings, service development plans and teaching/training; liaising and working with the wider aspire MDT; and proactively engaging communities in enabling the early identification of people who may be at risk of experiencing voices, visions, extreme suspiciousness and other severe mental health difficulties to a degree that would meet the criteria for psychosis. In this role you will work with the Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) to assess people and determine their suitability for the ARMS pathway. You will also provide a supportive and responsive service to people on the ARMS pathway, meeting their needs through a team approach that will involve care coordination of complex clients and other therapeutic activities, such as facilitating network meetings, the development of groups and social recovery-orientated activities.

**MAIN TASKS**: 1. Have a working knowledge of current principles, evidence-based practice and service provision within the context of an ARMS service and the broader Early Intervention in Psychosis field. 2. To work jointly with and provide advice to other team members in the provision of individual, family/social network-focused and group-based work, being sensitive to the needs of different ages and individuals/families from a range of racial, ethnic, cultural and religious backgrounds.

3. To undertake initial triaging and assessments using validated measures (e.g. CAARMS; Comprehensive Assessment of At-Risk Mental State) to identify people with an at risk mental state, and formulating and care planning their presenting issues, signposting to alternative services where appropriate. 4.

To assess clinical risk, proactively initiate and review risk management plans, and facilitate interventions that empower the service user and/or the family/social network to reduce and manage risk behaviours. 5. To care co-ordinate individuals on the ARMS pathway and their families/social networks to prevent the escalation of difficulties and minimise the need for future service input, through recovery-orientated collaborative care planning that empowers people to get their basic needs met (e.g. housing, income) and develop a meaningful life (e.g.

meaningful support networks, occupation/activity, education and training). 6. Take a proactive approach to working with communities, especially those known to be at risk of accessing services with psychosis. Consider current and historical barriers to accessing services and contribute to improved access and acceptability of the service to different communities.

This could happen in different arenas, including community drop-ins, faith organisations, primary care settings, educational establishments, youth services, voluntary and statutory services. 7. Aim to reduce stigma and discrimination in communities/society around the experiences that get labelled psychosis by actively engaging communities and facilitating a two-way exchange of information around ideas and responses to severe forms of distress. 8.

To participate in the collection of performance and outcome data, and relevant audits. 9. Promote client and carer involvement in all aspects of the service. 10.

To provide the wider aspire MDT and other organisations with consultation, teaching and training, which supports them in understanding the ARMS pathway and assessing those who might be suitable for the ARMS pathway. 11. To comply with the Professional Codes of Conduct and to be aware of changes in these, including maintaining appropriate professional boundaries at all times. 12.

Adhere to and keep up-to-date with relevant policies, guidelines, legislation, procedures and practices, including the safeguarding of all adults and children. 13. Participate in regular supervision, team meetings and other meetings as required, including where appropriate take a lead in meetings. 14.

Represent Community Links in a knowledgeable and professional manner at all times. 15. Maintain appropriate professional boundaries at all times. 16.
