Urgent Care Practitioner - Crisis Resolution Home Treatment Team
Are you looking for a new challenge and want to offer the best care in times of Crisis?
Do you want to help shape the future of the CRHT?
We're looking for like-minded people to join us and help provide top quality care to those who need it.
We have brand-new opportunities for Band 6 Mental Health Nurses (RMN), Occupational Therapists (OT) or Social Workers to join the Crisis Resolution & Home Treatment Team (CRHT) at Langley Green Hospital, Crawley.
The CRHT team is a part of acute care and works closely with the acute hospital and community teams to support clients in a mental health crisis. It offers clients care and support in their own homes together with a day service group programme based at Langley Green Hospital as an alternative to hospital admission.
This post offers the Trust's £4,000 Incentive for band 5-7 Nurses & Practitioners, as well as a relocation package up to a maximum of £8,000 (subject to terms and conditions).
Main duties of the job
As an Urgent Care Practitioner in our team you will work in partnership with service users with complex health presentations, developing their care plans and recovery plans to enable them to lead fulfilling lives.
You will be responsible for the assessment, planning and implementation of top-quality care to service users. This will include working alongside service users, carers, families and partner agencies such as voluntary sector agencies, schools and colleges.
You may also be involved in providing clinical supervision to staff and students, acting as shift co-ordinator as needed to lead the team on shift, as well as allocating and delegating tasks to colleagues. You will be expected to liaise with other services and external agencies to triage referrals to the service and gatekeep inpatient admissions.
This is a fantastic opportunity to develop your leadership skills if you are looking for career progression in the future.
