Northampton, Northamptonshire, United Kingdom NHS Full time
About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Mental Health Practitioner to join our team as a Crisis Care Specialist. The successful candidate will be responsible for providing biopsychosocial assessment, safety planning, and support to service users and carers within the Integrated Response Hub.

The role requires flexibility as it is based on service user needs with an emphasis on early intervention. This role includes the wider functions of the Crisis Pathway, which include countywide Crisis Cafes in partnership with local 3rd sector providers, Police Street triage options, Crisis Houses, Hospital at Home, and Police Custody Healthcare.

The successful applicant must be willing to work across these services during the working week, providing specialist mental health assessment and liaison to those in crisis. Services that the successful candidate will be involved with will aim to reduce mental health attendance at ED across the county, offer genuine opportunities for service users to self-refer at the point of crisis, and provide partner organizations with proactive support and alternate pathways for service users they encounter.

Key Responsibilities
  1. Support the functioning of the 24-hour telephone support line.
  2. Liaise and communicate effectively with statutory and non-statutory mental health agencies regarding individuals with mental health needs who contact the integrated response hub.
  3. Maintain protocols for effective communication between local mental health services, 3rd sector partners, and other interested organizations.
  4. Oversee specialized risk and mental health assessments of individuals engaged with the crisis care pathway to inform recommendations for their care/treatment.
  5. Act as a focal point for the identification and planning of aftercare for individuals within the Crisis Care Pathway.
  6. Improve the experience of patients with mental health illnesses who receive care in the crisis care pathway.
  7. Provide specialist mental health perspectives to multi-disciplinary team members regarding assessment, intervention, management, and safety planning.
  8. Provide a service to the Crisis Care Pathway countywide.
  9. Contribute to support, training, and skill development for individuals and groups in mental health awareness.
  10. Assist the Manager with the day-to-day management of junior colleagues regarding clinical supervision and support.
  11. Promote and develop effective working relationships with key groups in general acute hospitals and associated community-based teams, EMAS, Police, and 3rd sector colleagues.
  12. Work as a key lead member of the Integrated Response Hub, offering a range of interventions for individuals with various mental health difficulties, in line with the service operational policy.
  13. Offer education, opportunistically and on a planned basis, to individuals to improve their knowledge and skills of mental health and reduce the stigma of mental health.
  14. Provide out-of-hours support and cover for the service countywide, working on a shift pattern across a 24/7 basis.
