Job Overview
Job Summary:
The role would involve the care co-ordination of a number of Service Users. You will also be involved in assessments and delivering a range of interventions to both individuals and their families and to groups.
You will have the opportunity to work alongside many other clinicians including family workers, CBT therapists, consultant psychiatrists, and psychologists.
Driving is a must, and your own transport is essential for this role as supporting clients to appointments is part of the work. The team does work flexibly in order to reach clients and carers, so some working outside of office hours at times is to be expected. In return, you will get to work as part of a small MDT team with a real team approach. There may be opportunities in the future to train in psychological interventions to support your practice. There will be opportunities to network and join in shared learning with other recovery teams, both in AWP and in the South West.
