This is an exciting opportunity to work as part of a community based multi-disciplinary team working across Richmondshire and the dales in North Yorkshire.
This post would be an ideal developmental post for someone looking to develop their community assessment and intervention skills. Anyone applying from a different environment that is looking to develop their skills would be supported by the leadership team members to ensure their well being was maintained.
As a senior practitioner you will have a genuine interest in collaborative working with people of varying ages and complex needs, including service users, Carers, families and our partners including statutory and voluntary agencies.
The successful candidate will participate in a range of interventions including triage, complex assessments, and risk management and deliver evidence-based psychological well-being interventions (training will be provided) to support a purposeful service user journey whilst with the team.
The successful candidate may also be required to provide ongoing coaching support, clinical, and caseload supervision to junior colleagues and wider members of the MDT.
18 months post qualifying experience including sign off of appropriate preceptorship or competency framework is essential.
This post is not solely limited to professionals from a social care or nursing background; applications from Allied Health Professions are welcome.
Main duties of the job
As a registered professional, this is an ideal opportunity for someone who wants to develop their leadership and clinical skills in a community setting. As a core member of the team, you will also be responsible for delivering intervention in the community with people who have complex needs, ranging from mild to moderate level of need to severe and enduring level of need and complexity. You will ensure that the service users' recovery goals are identified and central to their safety plans, promoting social inclusion, independence, and well-being. You will demonstrate excellent assessment skills, interpersonal, and team working skills and be able to work collaboratively with a range of statutory and third sector agencies.
You will have an enthusiastic approach towards your own personal and professional development. In return, you will receive regular appraisal, clinical, management, and caseload supervision and will benefit from the support of an experienced and committed multi-disciplinary leadership team.
