Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust – Gateshead, Gateshead
If you are looking to work in a friendly, supportive and stimulating environment that challenges your skills and allows you to progress and professionally develop, then this is the opportunity for you. We are based in a vibrant area of the North East which includes historical sites, beautiful coastlines, and world-class eateries.
We are a community treatment team based in Gateshead, comprised of nurses, social workers, occupational therapists, psychologists, support workers, peer support workers, and medical and leadership staff. We deliver high-quality evidence-based interventions to the population of our area who require support with psychosis and non-psychosis related difficulties. We provide both individual and group interventions, with a plethora of training and support opportunities available to our staff members.
If you would welcome the opportunity to become part of a warm, friendly, and welcoming team with a great range of skills and experience, then this is the post for you. Here within the Gateshead West Community Treatment Team, there is a real sense of team spirit, and we are looking to add clinicians with this same positive outlook to our already excellent skill set. As part of this team, you will be encouraged to grow and develop in your role and contribute to the development of the service.
Responsibilities:
1. To be responsible for the assessment and management of casework of service users who have substantial and complex needs.
2. To deliver evidence-based clinical and psychologically based interventions.
3. Coordinate treatment planning & interventions, reviews, and discharge planning.
4. Complete duty days supporting the CTT when other clinicians are not available.
5. Work alongside other agencies to support service users with integrating into the community and supporting their biopsychosocial needs.
We aim to attract and retain a diverse, talented, and committed workforce, who are caring and compassionate, and therefore able to meet the demands of the modern NHS now and in the future. In return, we can offer a dynamic working environment in which to build a career.
You will need to be clinically experienced, solution-focused, and competent in working with individuals, their families, and carers in a community setting. You should have a collaborative and enthusiastic approach, as well as the passion and commitment to develop and promote recovery-based interventions for adults with mental health-related needs.
