This is a well-established, high-performing team delivering compassionate care in the community to adults who suffer from mental health problems. You will be working in a team that is diverse in background, highly motivated, friendly, agile, flexible, and responsive.

The post-holder will carry a defined caseload and will work closely with other members of the team, including Psychologists, Medical professionals, Social Workers, Nurses, and other Health & Allied professionals to ensure that the best quality of care is provided.
This work will be underpinned by a bio psychosocial model of care, and the post-holder will ensure that best practice psycho-social interventions are offered wherever possible within their skill set.
Key Responsibilities:
* To work as a Care-coordinator within the team in the planning, delivery, coordination, and evaluation of assessments and formulation.
* To work closely and collaboratively with other members of the team, including Psychologists, Medical professionals, and other Allied Professionals to provide optimal care.

* To ensure that all care offered is evidence-based and all interventions take into account specific physical, cultural, psychological, and spiritual needs of service users.
* To assess care needs, devise care programmes, packages of care including Risk assessment, Dialog+, and implement and evaluate these in collaboration with individual service users and their carers.
* To support and mentor less experienced staff, support workers, and students from related professional backgrounds who are on placement within the team.
* To undertake duties designed to extend clinical and managerial expertise as delegated by the Team Manager when required.
* To undertake comprehensive outcome monitoring of all referrals.
The partnership between Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust (BEH) and Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust (C&I) is going from strength to strength since it was originally established in 2021, forming the North London Mental Health Partnership.
In order to meet the needs of the new Partnership services, you may be required from time to time to work at different locations to your normal place of work. This may mean that you are required to work at any location that falls under Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Trust and Camden and Islington Trust. The Trust reserves the right to require staff to work at such other places or locations as it considers reasonable and necessary on a temporary or permanent basis.
