We are seeking to recruit an enthusiastic, highly motivated Band 5 Mental Health Practitioner to work within the Torbay Crisis Resolution & Home Treatment Teams based at Wonford House. The CRHTT is a pivotal, county-wide service whose main focus is to offer an alternative to inpatient admission and provide intensive treatment as required within the community. The service operates within locality-based leadership teams to ensure effective gatekeeping for all service users referred for hospital admission. Outreach is at the heart of the service, with most assessments taking place in non-hospital environments. As an active member of the integrated multi-disciplinary team, the post holder will contribute to a 24‑hour community‑based Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Service, available across the county as an alternative to hospital admission. The role involves delivering rapid assessments and planning effective, evidence‑based home treatment in collaboration with service users, carers, and professionals from both established services and locality teams.

• Provide clinical leadership and supervision to junior staff and support workers where appropriate.
• Maintain accurate clinical records and contribute to service audits and quality improvement initiatives.
• Promote recovery‑focused, trauma‑informed, and person‑centred approaches in all aspects of care.
• Participate in rota‑based working, including evenings, weekends, and bank holidays to ensure 24/7 service coverage.
• Uphold Trust values and contribute to a culture of compassion, inclusion, and excellence.

• Develop, deliver and oversee treatment plans for clients open to the Crisis Resolution Team.
• Assess, manage and formulate clinical risk with each client.
• Offer crisis resolution as an alternative to hospital admission, available 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, 365 days per year.
• Serve as the gatekeeper for inpatient hospital beds.
