We are looking for caring, compassionate, energetic, and motivated individuals who are passionate about improving the mental health of our service users. This is a band 6 post open to Mental Health Nurses and Allied Health professionals who are currently registered with the NMC, HCPC, or SWE.
This is a pivotal role with the acute services pathway as our team is focused on providing evidence-based interventions with the aim to prevent and reduce difficulties experienced by service users and carers during mental health crises.
The team operates 24/7 providing an All Age Crisis telephone service, Crisis Assessment Service, Health Based Place of Safety, and Intensive Home Treatment pathway.
The service can be fast-paced, and the ideal applicant will be extremely organised and self-motivated to provide high-quality assessment, triage, and formulation for service users accessing our service.
The post holder will be responsible for the clinical leadership of more junior members of the team, prioritising workload and utilising resources appropriately to ensure that service user needs are met.
You will be well supported, with continuing opportunities for your ongoing professional development.
You will be offered a staff induction period during which you will be supernumerary while existing team members support you to share your existing knowledge and skills with the team while providing you the opportunity to learn and develop new skills from others.
