Band 6 - Outreach Mental Health Practitioner

Adult MH Planned Care Community Services Homeless Mental Health Service (HMHS)

Base: OSL House / Agile working; 1 x Full Time 37.5 Hrs per week.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a compassionate, enthusiastic, motivated, hardworking individual with a mental health or learning disability nursing, mental health occupational therapy or social work professional background to join the Homeless Mental Health service. Providing engagement, assessment, support & access to treatment services for people who are homeless. The role includes street outreach to people who are rough sleeping, alongside the Council housing outreach teams.

This role involves significant walking, working in inclement weather, and occasionally limited out of hours work (6am start). Applicants must be prepared to undertake required duties as part of HMHS. The post will require working primarily across Charnwood, NW Leicestershire, Hinckley & Blaby districts along with city centre clinics & street outreach; ideally suited to someone living in the west / North West of Leicester / Leicestershire to reduce travel time and costs.

Operating from various locations with some home working. Core pattern: Monday to Friday 8.30am to 4.30pm. Work may necessitate occasional out of hours work (enhancements paid).

The team is an active partner within the wider multi-agency statutory & voluntary sector homeless services within Leicester City. The successful applicant would be expected to help facilitate this partnership, as well as assisting to develop the service and similar partnerships across the wider counties of Leicestershire & Rutland.

As the service develops across these districts, work will be allocated around existing staff locations to reduce mileage and travel time; however, on occasion cover may be required for colleagues in other areas. Candidates will need to demonstrate an ability to provide care for people presenting with mental health difficulties within a variety of settings including day centres, hostels & temporary accommodation and general public settings (street outreach).

Excellent assessment, risk management, organisational and communication skills are essential, along with a good working knowledge of community care & hospital admission & discharge processes. The ability to use your initiative, work autonomously and manage your time effectively is required, along with the ability to work as part of a team and wider multi-agency homeless services.

Due to the unique role, it is recommended that applicants contact the team to discuss & ensure they are aware of the requirements of the role and the specific & unique working environments. Shadowing current MHPs is possible with prior arrangement.
