As a part of the Disability Confident Employer Guaranteed Interview Scheme, we interview all disabled applicants who meet the essential criteria for the job vacancy (outlined in the Person Specification). We encourage you to indicate your eligibility through TRAC jobs when applying.
Disclosure and Barring Service Check:
For posts with direct service user contact, please be advised that due to recent changes in the DBS Service, organisations no longer receive copies of DBS Disclosures - these are sent directly to candidates only. Therefore, it will be your responsibility, if successful, to ensure that this is taken to the appointing officer as soon as you receive it.
Alternatively, if you have subscribed to the update service, we will be able to check your status once we have your authority to do so. The Trust has now introduced a DBS Update Service which is a contractual requirement. You need to subscribe when you have applied for your DBS clearance, and there is a time limit to subscribe of 19 days after receipt of your DBS disclosure.
Within this role, you will work with an established and supportive MDT. As with many services, we currently use a blended model of virtual and face-to-face working which provides opportunities for flexibility. You will have knowledge, skills, and experience of working across the range of complexity and severity in adult mental health.
We will expect the post holder to work collaboratively and flexibly with others to undertake assessments, develop and share psychological formulations, and develop treatment plans. You will be responsible for managing a caseload, assessing and planning treatment for your patients, working with the patient to plan care and optimise treatment plans, and feeding back to the MDT for the best outcome for the patient.
