You must have a full and valid driving licence and access to a vehicle for work purposes.
Main duties of the job
EIIP Services have developed nationally in line with the NICE guidance and NHS England. The EIIP Service provides early detection, assessment, and intervention for 14-65 year olds who are experiencing a first episode of psychosis in Surrey and NE Hampshire.
The aim of the service is to reduce the impact of the emerging illness on the individual and their families. The service is based on an outreach model with the interventions being delivered alongside individuals in the community. NICE recommends care plans that include individual CBT, family interventions, physical health monitoring, occupational/vocational support as well as medication are offered.
The post-holder will have continuous overall responsibility for the management and care coordination of an identified group of people who use our services.
