Job Overview
The Community Mental Health Team (CMHT) provides a specialist service offering comprehensive assessment, treatment, and care of service users who are experiencing severe mental health difficulties within the local community. The service also provides a dedicated point of entry system which manages all referrals that are either crisis, urgent, or routine in a timely manner with an emphasis on solutions-focused outcomes for patients and referrers.
This post will act as the main point of contact for the CMHT at first entry and manage all referrals into the service, whilst determining urgency. This will sometimes entail contacting the patient to undertake a further assessment and working with existing patients who may require additional intensive case management to avert further escalation of their mental health.
