Preston, United Kingdom Lancashire & South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust Full time

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Band 5 Mental Health Practitioner to join the Preston East Community Mental Health Team.

The CMHT is a busy and challenging place to work, a good place to consolidate existing clinical skills in the community or to develop new ones among a team of supportive and experienced clinicians.

You, as part of the Multi Disciplinary Team, will hold a caseload of patients, be involved in a variety of tasks and discussions focussed on the delivery of the best possible care for our service users.

Please refer to the attached Job Description for further detail.

You will receive regular supervision and an annual appraisal, with opportunity for further training and career development within the Trust, along with a host of other staff benefits.
- Maintain high standards of care.
- Undertake and promote practice sensitive to the needs of service users from diverse, disability and minority ethnic backgrounds.
- To advocate on behalf of service users and carers.
- Empower service users and their carers.
- Engage and work with service users and at times family members, who exhibit highly disturbing challenging, unpredictable and aggressive behaviour on an average daily/weekly basis. This includes service users who experience hallucinations/delusional ideation and who may have children who are on the “at risk” register.
- Receive complex and sensitive information from service users, carers and the multidisciplinary team, which can be conflicting. There may also be barriers to communication if a service user is experiencing hallucinations, or if from an ethnic minority background.

Lancashire & South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust provides a range of services including secondary mental health care across this area. Specialist provision comprises inpatient child and adolescent mental health services, perinatal mental health and forensic services including low and medium secure care.

The Trust also provides a range of physical health and well-being services in the community alongside a range of partners in the Lancashire, Cumbria and Sefton area.
