Job Overview
The North Somerset Recovery Service has an opportunity for a Band 6 Specialist Practitioner.
The successful applicant will be working within the North Somerset Recovery Team at Coast Resource Centre as a keyworker delivering care and support interventions within the Your Team, Your Conversation, Your Plan framework.
We are a friendly, supportive team who are passionate about improving the lives of service users with complex mental health needs.
This post is open to newly qualified social workers. In line with AWP trust policy, all newly qualified social workers (NQSW) will be recruited initially at Band 5 level, regardless of advertised role banding. All NQSWs are expected to successfully complete their ASYE within 2 years of employment, unless there are exceptional circumstances in which case it may be extended for a further 2 years.
If you have been appointed to an advertised Band 6 role, this will be an automatic progression, following confirmation of your successful ASYE completion. If you have been appointed to a Band 5 post, you will then be eligible to apply for a subsequent Band 6 vacancy upon successful ASYE completion.
Main Duties of the Job

2. Psychosis pathway disorders, using CBTp interventions; we have an 8-day training program to help us deliver this intervention and clinical supervision.
3. Alongside other interventions such as Family interventions, CAMHS transition work, and therapeutic groups.
You will have good working relationships with Psychology services and support from our Consultant Psychiatrists to develop recovery-focused care and safety management plans.
You will have regular supervision and work alongside Nurses, Occupational Therapists, Social Workers, and Support staff.
