Job description

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of the City South Local Mental Health Team as a Community Support Worker. If you are seeking to develop your skills and expertise in working with adults living in the local community experiencing severe mental health problems, you will be an integral member of a dynamic multidisciplinary team offering creative and high-quality evidence-based interventions.

You will have the opportunity to access training and to develop skills in working within specific pathways, for example with patients experiencing personality disorders or rehabilitation of patients experiencing ongoing psychosis.

Please note that applicants will be required to pay for their DBS check. The costs are deducted from salary following appointment. The cost of the DBS application is £26.40 (standard) or £54.40 (enhanced). This cost will be deducted from your salary over the first two months of employment.

We encourage you to enrol in the DBS Update Service. An annual fee of £16 applies.

The role involves working with adults with mental health needs in their own homes. You will contribute to assessments and interventions, undertaking nursing, therapy, and social activities as delegated by the relevant profession. You will often work without direct supervision in the community and need to work flexibly and holistically to meet clients' needs. Your goal will be to promote patient recovery and work with partner agencies and primary care to ensure timely and safe discharge from secondary care.

We are seeking enthusiastic team players to work within a dynamic multidisciplinary health team, with excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and experience in managing complex cases in partnership with other agencies.
