Job description

Neighbourhood Mental Health Team Lead - B7, full time, Permanent post

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A NEW OPPORTUNITY AND THE NEXT STEP IN YOUR CAREER?

NHS adult Community mental health services are transforming and we are establishing integrated Neighbourhood Mental Health teams across East Sussex. The Hill Rise service is based in the seaside town of Newhaven, set in the beautiful South Downs National Park and only a few miles from Brighton.

This post is open to experienced Mental Health Nurses, Social Workers and Occupational Therapists. It is a generic Team Management role but we will also commit to supporting your on-going professional development.

We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic, talented and clinically experienced team lead, who can function equally well independently and within a multi-disciplinary team, dealing with clients with complex and enduring mental health needs in a community setting.

We are looking for a warm and friendly clinician with excellent communication and interpersonal skills who is compassionate, accountable and innovative.

You will be critical in building trusting relationships with local partners and instrumental in improving our service reputation and public confidence.

As team leader you will be supporting and supervising the team, managing any day to day issues, ensuring the team works within the budget and successfully achieves required quality targets.

You will be required to carry out some clinical work and demonstrate developed clinical skills with proven experience and be able to work effectively with other professionals to manage complex and demanding situations.

You will be joining a committed and dynamic team and will be fully supported and empowered to develop new ways of working and quality improvement.

As a mental health trust, Sussex Partnership places a huge focus on the wellbeing of our staff, as well as ensuring our reward packages reflect the immensely important work they do.

As a clinician in our team we can offer you:

• Access to numerous wellbeing and support programmes, run by our internal wellbeing team
• Excellent supervision programmes, with ongoing opportunities for training and development
• Flexible working patterns
• Access to a host of discount schemes (including gyms, shopping, restaurants and cars)
• A position within a trust rated as ‘Outstanding’ for caring and ‘Good’ overall by the CQC
• Generous holiday entitlement (starting at 27 days + 8 bank holidays)
• A ‘Golden Hello’ or relocation package of up to £2000 (see attached documentation)
