Applicants must have full registration with the GMC, MRCPsych or equivalent, Section 12 (2) approval, approved clinician status and CCT accreditation in General Adult Psychiatry or within 6 months of obtaining CCT. Experience in Acute Psychiatry is essential.
You will be required to provide clinical leadership to the East Assertive Outreach Team in delivering responsive, effective and inclusive mental health community services.
Your expertise in assessments, informed by evidence, for those suffering severe and enduring mental health difficulties, will enable maximum empowerment of the service user and carer in developing informed choice of treatment interventions.
In conjunction with the multidisciplinary team, service user, carers and other involved agencies you will also develop robust risk assessment and management plans.
