Job overview

Hi, I am the Service Manager for both Peterborough and Cambridge CRHTT’s. I am excited to announce that an opportunity has arisen for the right person, with a passion and vision for CRHTT’s, to become the team manager for Peterborough Crisis Resolution & Home Treatment Team. We are a well-established service at the heart of acute crisis care within Peterborough, Huntingdon, and Fenland. The team covers a large geographical area, rich with diversity, and is composed of very experienced staff from various disciplines, each with their own unique strengths.

We are HTAS accredited, reflecting the high standard of care we provide, and offer great opportunities for personal growth and development.

The post holder will have managerial responsibility for the Peterborough Crisis Resolution & Home Treatment team, supported closely by the experienced team and myself. This is a -hour service providing home treatment as an alternative to hospital admission for residents in the catchment area, age –. The team works closely with other CPFT services as part of the acute care pathway, interfacing with inpatient wards, psychiatric liaison service, first response service, and other community-based teams.

I would love to hear from you if interested, so please get in touch.

Mike Bush

Main duties of the job

You will provide effective clinical leadership, manage human and budgetary resources, and ensure evidence-based practice within inpatient and community settings. You should be capable of coordinating various tasks in care delivery and managing unplanned challenges.

You will be passionate about the core values of CRHTT intervention, collaborative and partnership working with people, carers, and families supported by the service, and the development of CRHTT as part of the acute care pathway. You should be adept at guiding and managing change as CRHTTs evolve alongside local and national changes to service provision across the public and private sectors.

Previous CRHTT and managerial experience are advantageous but a willingness and vision to lead and shape CRHTT as part of the adult crisis care pathway are essential.
