Job overview
This role is focused on supporting people in the community with a range of acute mental health needs, who may be in crisis, and their carers (including friends and relatives) and supporters. The goal is to enable and assist them in meeting daily health, social care, and well-being needs, in line with personal recovery goals, and facilitating engagement with mainstream services.
We are looking for a Recovery Coordinator for the Swindon Intensive Team based at Sandalwood Court. The position offers part-time hours (22.5 hours per week). The team covers 8am-10pm, 7 days a week, and we work a shift pattern.
Main duties of the job
The Intensive Team is part of the Swindon Access services.
The Intensive Team provides assessment and home treatment to individuals and their carers as an alternative to hospital admission, relapse prevention, short-term therapy work, and facilitated discharge from hospital.
The team operates 8am to 10pm per day, 7 days a week, 365 days per year; therefore, the successful candidate will be expected to undertake a shift pattern of working.
Mental Health Workers in this team offer a variety of psychosocial skills to service users while working under the guidance of registered practitioners. There is also the expectation of lone working at times. The Intensive Team has a shared caseload, so Mental Health Workers are not required to provide care coordination.
We are ideally looking for someone who has successfully undertaken the NVQ Level 3 in Mental Health or an equivalent qualification, is enthusiastic, has experience working with people and families in distress due to mental health crises, and can work under pressure. The Swindon Intensive Team promotes recovery and operates a non-exclusion policy.
