Job overview

The post holder will carry no responsibility for inpatients but will be part of the bed management strategy within the Community Mental Health (CMH) Directorate.

There is additional community support in the form of our admission avoidance team, the home treatment team and our crisis house before patients may need a hospital bed.

The service aims to be flexible and accessible, offering individuals choice and involvement regarding their treatment, actively encouraging their participation in the planning and implementation of their care. A personalised care plan will be devised in consultation with the service user and their Carer/family where appropriate.
The Greenwich ADAPT Team was formed as part of a reconfiguration of Community Mental Health Services that occurred in September 2015. The reconfiguration was part of the directorate’s plan to ensure efficient delivery of mental health services whilst delivering high quality care.
