Job description

Job overview

Are you interested in working with people in mental health crisis? We are a crisis home treatment team looking for a new Recovery Coordinator to join our team in Bath.

The access teams (and all the BANES teams) are very compassionate, and there will be many staff across the teams who would support you along your journey in your new role. As we work towards a home treatment model, you will be part of a multidisciplinary team including newly introduced roles such as clinical associate psychologists. This range of scope allows for great interprofessional learning and training.

We are ideally looking for someone who has successfully undertaken the NVQ Level 3 in Mental Health or equivalent qualification, is enthusiastic, has experience of working with people and families in distress due to mental health crisis and can work under pressure. We really value our workforce. BANES Intensive is a great place to work within a team environment that is currently developing its intervention offer. This allows you to develop excellent clinical assessment, intervention and leadership skills which you might not get from other roles.

Main duties of the job

We are looking to recruit a suitably experienced/qualified recovery coordinator, to join the BANES Intensive Team.

The Intensive Team is part of the BANES Access services.

The Intensive Team provides assessment and home treatment to individuals and their carers as an alternative to hospital admission, relapse prevention, short term therapy work and help provide facilitated discharge from hospital. Due to the limited public transport availability in the area you are required to have a full UK driving license and access to a suitably insured vehicle to conduct patient visits for this role.

The service runs 08:00–22:0, 7 days a week. This role includes a pattern of shift working, which does include some 9–5 shifts, evenings, weekend and bank holiday working.

Mental Health Workers in this team, offer a variety of psychosocial skills to service users, whilst working under the guidance of registered practitioners there is also the expectation of lone working at times. The Intensive team has a shared caseload so lots of opportunity for MDT working and support.
