Are you Dynamic? Motivated? Passionate about community based care, with a desire to deliver and learn more about interventions for this client group?

If you can answer yes to these questions then we want you to apply for our band 6 posts in West Wiltshire 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.

Main duties of the job

We have initiated a training programme of structured clinical management (SCM) which is an evidence based approach for individuals who are on a non-psychotic pathway, and this would be available to new staff. We can also offer opportunities for training within the DBT service.

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 who are on a non-psychotic pathway.

This post is open to newly qualified social workers. In line with AWP trust policy all newly qualified social workers (NQSW) will be recruited initially at Band 5 level, regardless of advertised role banding. All NQSW’s are expected to successfully complete their ASYE within 2 years of employment, unless there are exceptional circumstances in which case it may be extended for a further 2 years.

If you have been appointed to an advertised Band 6 role this will be an automatic progression, following confirmation of your successful ASYE completion. If you have been appointed to a Band 5 post you will then be eligible to apply for a subsequent Band 6 vacancy upon successful ASYE completion.
