Job summary
One of the current significant gaps in service provision in Peterborough is for the treatment of severe mental health illness amongst the group of people struggling with alcohol and drugs misuse.
We know that there is a significant overlap between addictions and severemental illness and undiagnosed, unmanaged mental health illness within this group of people makes recovery harder to achieve and maintain. Patients with a dual diagnosis often fail to get an initial diagnosis, or adequate treatment for their SMI, because they do not manage to attend appointments and, if they do manage to get a diagnosis, they do not easily follow treatment protocols.
The Dual Diagnosis Outreach Team address some of these problems, operating as an outreach service, working flexibly with service users and other agencies. Prioritising support for those rough sleeping who are unable to access service.
Successful applicants will be strong team workers with demonstrable commitment and enthusiasm for working with stakeholders. This is an exciting opportunity to work with a busy and innovative team whose aim is to enhance the chances of local people achieving and maintaining optimal mental health within Peterborough.
Main duties of the job
