CNWL Milton Keynes are undergoing an innovative transformation of community mental health services which includes the development of a new Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Team to provide rapid response assessments and home treatment as an alternative to admission for people experiencing mental health crisis. Referrals to this service can be made by anyone concerned about a person’s mental health and may include the individual themselves, carers, relatives, GPs, police, paramedics or other health professionals. The service also ensures effective gatekeeping of all service users referred for admission to hospital.
The multi-professional team aims to work with individuals and their carers to avert a crisis wherever possible through prevention and early intervention and working jointly with other emergency and non-statutory services to provide a range of crisis care services. Each new referral received will be screened and triaged in line with the service operational procedure and ensuring high fidelity to the CORE model. Where necessary, a holistic mental health assessment will be undertaken to facilitate appropriate care planning and risk management, and any non-urgent referrals will be referred onwards or sign-posted to more appropriate support services within the developing crisis pathway.
We are passionate about delivering first-class patient-centred, safe and effective care, whether it is in a hospital setting, in a community clinic or in the patients own home. Patients are at the heart of everything we do. Providing top quality care depends on our ability to employ the best people.
We're always looking to recruit outstanding people who will go the extra mile to support our patients, colleagues, teams and the Trust. With every new employee were hoping to find our future leaders and well support our staff by providing opportunities to develop your career. With a diverse culture and equally diverse range of opportunities across mental health, community services, addictions, eating disorders, learning disabilities and more whatever stage of your career you're at, there's always a place for you at CNWL.
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.
The post holder will provide direct patient care to people in their home who are acutely mentally ill. The post holder will be responsible for the rapid response to referrals, face to face assessment and gate keeping of admissions to hospital and facilitating discharge from in-patient services once the risk to the individual or others has decreased. The post holder will also be expected to undertake urgent front line assessments from GP’s and other referrers and make clinical decisions around appropriate care pathways.
Additionally, the post holder will be responsible for referring and signposting to secondary mental health services, or alternative statutory or non-statutory agencies, and will be required to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
The Band 6 work closely with the people who use our services, families, friends and carers and play an important contribution in how people experience our services. The Band 6 are expected to be kind and responsive but professional and informative and contribute to the quality of the services we provide.
