Job overview
Are you looking for a new challenge and want to offer the best care in times of Crisis?
Do you want to help shape the future of the CRHTT?
We're looking for like-minded people to join us and help provide top quality care to those who need it.
We have brand-new opportunities for Band 6 Mental Health Nurses (RMN), Occupational Therapists (OT) or Social Workers to join the Crisis Resolution & Home Treatment Team (CRHTT) at Langley Green Hospital, Crawley.
The CRHTT team is a part of acute care and works closely with the acute hospital and community teams to support clients in a mental health crisis. It offers clients care and support in their own homes together with a day service group programme based at Langley Green Hospital as an alternative to hospital admission.
CRHTT are able to offer all the benefits of a hospital admission while remaining at home including home visits from our experienced team, with support from doctors and psychology. We also facilitate supportive discharge from hospital, managing the transition back to community-based service.

Main duties of the job
As an Urgent Care Practitioner in our team you will work in partnership with service users with complex health presentations, developing their care plans and recovery plans to enable them to lead fulfilling lives.
You will be responsible for the assessment, planning and implementation of top-quality care to service users. This will include working alongside service users, carers, families and partner agencies such as voluntary sector agencies, schools and colleges.
As well as providing specialist nursing advice and carrying out nursing procedures, you will be monitoring the effectiveness of treatments in order to progress and ensure effectiveness of intervention.

This may include acting as shift co-ordinator as needed to lead the team on shift, as well as allocating and delegating tasks to colleagues.

This is a fantastic opportunity to develop your leadership skills if you are looking for career progression in the future.
