Are you interested in holistic mental health care, keen to work in a community setting, and eager to work as part of a multi-professional team? If you can answer yes to these questions, then we want you to apply for one of our band 5 posts in Sarum CMHT.
We have redesigned the model of care based on identified pathways, and we are looking for clinicians who are skilled or have an interest in training to deliver interventions to service users in the non-psychotic pathway.

If you are up for the challenge, this is an exciting opportunity for clinicians to work in a focused way, developing skills for an identified group of individuals. In addition to this, you would also be working with other groups of people with diagnoses ranging from depression, anxiety, and bipolar.

Main duties will include:
1. Coordination of care for service users on the non-psychotic pathway.
2. Care planning.
3. Risk assessment.
4. Structured Clinical Management.
5. Group work.
6. Attending supervision.
