Job description

Are you an experienced Advanced Clinical Practitioner looking for an opportunity to make a real difference within urgent and crisis mental health care?

We are looking for a dynamic, experienced and highly skilled ACP to join our Merton Home Treatment Team (HTT) in a permanent 0.5 WTE 18.75hrs Band 8a position, based at Wilson Hospital.

This is an exciting opportunity to work as a senior autonomous clinician within an experienced multidisciplinary Home Treatment Team, supporting people experiencing acute mental health crisis to receive high-quality treatment and care within their own homes wherever possible.

You will be a registered healthcare professional with an MSc or PGDip in Advanced Clinical Practice, an independent prescribing qualification, current professional registration and experience working at an advanced level of practice. Experience within working-age adult community mental health services is an essential requirement of the role.

You will bring strong clinical assessment and risk-management skills, confidence in managing complexity and the ability to work autonomously while building effective relationships across the multidisciplinary team.

The successful candidate will be predominantly based within Merton HTT, with one day per fortnight working within the Crisis Access Hub. This offers a unique opportunity to work across different parts of the crisis pathway, supporting both intensive home treatment and the front end of crisis assessment and clinical decision-making.

The Trust's ACP role encompasses advanced assessment, formulation, diagnosis, treatment planning and non-medical prescribing, alongside clinical leadership, education, research and quality improvement.

Unless expressly stated in the job advert this role is not subject to sponsorship, please be advised that all offers of employment are subject to evidence of right to work in the UK.

We are Proud to Belong at South West London and St George’s Mental Health NHS Trust.

We have expert services, a rich history and a clear commitment to providing the best quality care for those with mental ill-health. The Care Quality Commission already rates our services as ‘good’ - we aspire to be ‘outstanding’.

This is a great time to join us. We are transforming the way we care for our communities to support our mission of Making Life Better Together. We have built two brand new mental health facilities at Springfield University Hospital, which are amongst the best in the world. More developments are planned across our sites and services as we invest a further £120m to upgrade and modernise our estate by 2027.

We are inclusive and diverse and strive to be actively anti racist. We want to attract people from all backgrounds and experiences to enrich the work we do together. We are proud to co-produce and involve our local communities in all that we do.

We offer flexible working, career development and a variety of benefits to enable a positive, welcoming environment in which our people and their careers can thrive.

Come and join our inclusive teams and help our patients on their recovery journey.
