Job description

Overview

Band 5 CMHT Clinician - Non-Psychotic Pathway. Are you interested in holistic mental health care, keen to work in a community setting and eager to work as part of a multi professional team? If you can answer yes to these questions then we want you to apply for one of our band 5 posts in Sarum CMHT. We have redesigned the model of care based on identified pathways and we are looking for clinicians who are skilled or have an interest in training to deliver interventions to service users in the non-psychotic pathway. We have initiated a training programme of Structured Clinical Management which is an evidence-based approach for individuals with complex emotional needs who are on a non-psychotic pathway and this training would be available to new staff. If you are up for the challenge this is an exciting opportunity for clinicians to work in a focused way developing skills for an identified group of individuals. In addition to this you would also be working with other groups of people with diagnoses ranging from depression, anxiety and bipolar.

Responsibilities

• Being a keyworker for individuals, ensuring care is in keeping with the care plan and delivered by the appropriate professionals.
• Offer clinical input into care planning.
• Risk assessment and mitigation where possible.
• Structured Clinical Management.
• Group work.
• Attending supervision.

Qualifications and experience

• NMC registered nurse or newly qualified social worker (NQSW). In line with AWP policy all newly qualified social workers will be recruited initially at Band 5 level, regardless of advertised role banding. All NQSWs are expected to successfully complete their ASYE within 2 years of employment, unless exceptional circumstances extendable by up to 2 additional years.
• For those appointed to an advertised Band 6 role, progression is automatic following confirmation of successful ASYE completion. Those appointed to a Band 5 post will be eligible to apply for a Band 6 vacancy upon successful ASYE completion.
