Job summary

This is a Band 6 post however we would consider a Band 5/6 developmental post for the right candidate.

The BSW Specialist Community Perinatal Mental Health Service is looking for a Care Co-ordinator to work within our team covering the south of Wiltshire.

The team is multidisciplinary, providing support for women who experience serious mental health problems or present with a high risk of relapse during pregnancy and the postnatal period. We offer assessment and treatment aimed at treating mental ill health and enhancing the mother infant relationship, where mental health needs have impacted upon this. We provide multi agency training in perinatal mental health to other professionals and agencies working with women in the perinatal period in addition to offering consultation and advice. Currently, the team is able to work alongside women and their families from pregnancy until their infants first birthday.

You will be required to provide assessment and care co-ordination for an allocated caseload of service users with perinatal mental health needs. This will include key tasks of undertaking high quality assessments, developing care plans, delivering and reviewing therapeutic interventions. You will act as a supervisor and role model to others. You will also be required to act as a mentor to students, cover duty on a rotational basis and provide training to teams both within and outside of AWP. Applicants will be expected to demonstrate a high level of decision making skills and to work independently. They must also have a good understanding of safeguarding.

Access to your own transport for work use is essential as public transport is unreliable in parts of the BSW area.
