Job description

Overview

We are seeking to recruit Consultant Psychiatrists to work into the newly transformed Integrated CMHTs across the city. Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (LYPFT) is the main provider of specialist mental health and learning disability services in Leeds. We also provide specialist services across York, the Yorkshire and Humber region, and some highly specialised national services.

The newly transformed community service has been designed following the NHS Long Term Plan which seeks to address gaps in care provision and ensure that people experiencing severe mental illness and difficulties get the care they need.

Job responsibilities

The following are main duties of the job:

Mental health services need to ensure that:

• People can have a good-quality assessment at whatever point they present.
• Interventions for mental health problems are readily available and accessible at the location most appropriate to people\'s needs.
• Care can be stepped up where or when more specialist care is required, and stepped down, in a flexible manner without the need for cumbersome referrals and repeated assessments.
• There are effective links with community assets to support and enable people to become more embedded within their community and to use these assets to support their mental health.

Trauma informed care is a fundamental way of working which underpins how the service provides care. Teams consist of existing practitioners within Working Age Adult Community Mental Health Teams (WAA CMHT) and the Primary Care Mental Health (PCMH) element of Leeds Mental Wellbeing Service (LMWS). New roles will work within these teams, such as Community Wellbeing Connectors, expanded Peer Support roles, Advanced Clinical Practitioners (ACPs), and Mental Health Wellbeing Practitioners (MHWPs), and Complex Psychosis Practitioners, working together to provide support to people within the local areas they serve.
