Band 5 Mental Health Practitioners – Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Team

We have vacancies for experienced, passionate, and motivated professionals to join our OUTSTANDING Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Team at Harplands Hospital.

£29,970 - £36,483 per annum, full-time 37.5 hours per week.

If you are ambitious, enthusiastic, innovative, and creative, and want to make a difference, we want to hear from you. If you are ready for your next challenge, let us support you in achieving it.

Our Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Team provides outstanding services across Stoke and Staffordshire, ensuring high standards of care from first contact and in crisis. Working within Crisis Care can be demanding but also highly rewarding. We invite applicants to see what we do and meet the amazing team you could join.

The Crisis Care Centre is a vital part of the urgent care pathway, offering an all-age single point of access to mental health services in North Staffordshire, including a 24/7 crisis service and intensive home treatment as alternatives to inpatient admission.

Aligned with the NHS Long Term Plan, the Centre will expand its services to support individuals in crisis via NHS 111 referrals, alongside dedicated lines for ambulance, police, GPs, and other professionals requiring urgent mental health responses.

The post-holder will help set and maintain standards of care and ensure effective coordination of the service, providing a safe and effective response to individuals presenting in crisis with acute mental health needs.

You will coordinate care with the multidisciplinary team to ensure a collaborative, recovery-focused approach to patient care.

We are committed to service and system transformation to improve health and wellbeing through high-quality care. Our team’s wellbeing is a priority, and we offer wellness opportunities including flexible working.

We support the Greener NHS initiative to become the world’s first ‘carbon net zero’ health system by 2045. Sustainability is a core part of our strategy, and we are dedicated to achieving these environmental goals through our Green Plan and sustainability programs.

We value diversity and inclusivity and welcome applications from all underrepresented groups, including women, people with disabilities, individuals from global majority backgrounds, and members of the LGBTQ+ community.
