Social care will introduce a dedicated social care pathway, while Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust will provide healthcare under the One Team and care pathways model of care delivery.

The service will collaborate closely as part of a multidisciplinary team to ensure the best outcomes for service users.

Wokingham Borough Council will continue to support individuals with complex mental health needs, however this is need-based rather than via the diagnostic secondary care gateway.

If the successful candidate is an AMHP, there will be the opportunity to be approved by Wokingham and contribute to the AMHP rota and receive the AMHP allowance.

Benefits:

Wokingham Integrated Mental Health Service is committed to professional development and has excellent working relationships with health colleagues and colleagues in Adult Social Care.

We offer competitive terms and conditions, including 30 days of annual leave per year, or 35 days for those with 5 years of local government service.

In addition, we offer the Local Government Pension Scheme, shared cost AVC, Civil Service Social Club membership, and Kaarp (which provides benefits, including discounts to local gyms).
