Barking, United Kingdom NELFT NHS Foundation Trust Full time

In collaboration with our partners and service users across Barking & Dagenham, Havering Redbridge and Waltham Forest, NELFT has launched our Mental Health Transformation Programme and aim to radically transform our whole model of Mental Health care and support. Our intention is not just to redesign care pathways but to develop a new ethos and culture that helps transform how we work together with partners as ‘one team’ sharing care.

Our aims include a greater focus on prevention and wellbeing and delivering more integrated and personalised care closer to home. By working with Primary Care Networks (PCN) and local partners in each borough, NELFT propose to support plans by using a “neighbourhood” model of care to develop multi-agency, integrated and place-based care to support people with serious mental health needs to receive their care closer to home.

In Barking and Dagenham, as we work towards the neighbourhood model of ‘place-based care’, we have just merged our Access and Brief Intervention Team and our Community Recovery Team into three, locality-based Mental Health & Wellness Teams (MH&WTs), aligned to PCNs. Our aim is to improve the journey of our service users through secondary mental health services with continuity of care and no ‘hand-offs’ from one service to another.

Come and be part of one of our newly launched, integrated Mental Health & Wellness teams in Barking and Dagenham. Our vision is for this new investment to help start a new era in our Mental Healthcare provision at NELFT, making us among the most holistic, relational and person-centred services in the country.

In alignment with the Community Mental Health Framework for Adults, we intend for our teams to be trauma informed and person-centred, putting relationships back into the heart of care; all team members will receive training in new ways of working including Open Dialogue and trauma informed approaches to care.

Your responsibilities will include dealing with patient queries on the telephone, booking appointments and managing reception for Barking and Dagenham MHWT East service.
