Job description

We are looking for an enthusiastic Community Nurse to join our Richmond Early Intervention Service (EIS). Applicants need to be professionally qualified and committed to providing responsive and high-quality clinical services to mental health service users and their carers.

The Early Intervention Team provides a service for people with first‑onset psychoses between the ages of 17 and 65 years. The aim of the service is to provide intensive care using the Assertive Community Team model to prevent relapse, reduce the number of “revolving door” admissions, ensure effective treatment for resistant symptoms, reduce the incidence of suicide, and maximise an individual’s personal and social functioning.

The post holder will work within a multi‑disciplinary team comprising of Doctors, Psychologist, Social Workers, CPNs, OT, Support and Recovery Workers, Employment Specialists, a Team Manager, and team administration staff.

The role is for a Care Co‑ordinator/Key Worker managing a caseload of clients aged between 18 and 75 who experience serious and enduring mental health illness/s, using evidence‑based, client‑centred principles to assess, plan, implement and evaluate interventions.

Applicants must have a keen interest in all mental health issues and therefore be required to have up-to‑date knowledge of treatments and protocols. The post holder will be able to work autonomously, exercise clear and coherent decision‑making skills, and be able to work flexibly.

The role involves working closely alongside the patients and their carers as well as various relevant agencies, including GPs, acute hospitals, social services, as well as voluntary support services.

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.

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.
