Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust has an exciting opportunity available for an enthusiastic and highly motivated individual to join our Integrated Community Mental Health Team based in Redruth.
The team strives to deliver high quality and effective services to people experiencing severe and enduring mental health problems, working as a multidisciplinary team.
We offer assessment and treatment of mental health problems, with a focus on effectiveness and recovery, working to promote the independence of our service users. The team is looking for someone who can demonstrate the Trust’s vision and values in practice, is motivated to be involved in innovation and service development, and is passionate about mental health.
We are looking for individuals who have a core profession in mental health nursing, social work, or occupational therapy to join our community service line. We want people who have experience or who are looking for experience in working independently in a mental health setting.
As an ICMHT team member, you must have both a positive outlook and sense of humour to accept the challenges of working in a busy locality that extends to seaside towns and rural locations. You will need to have knowledge of general mental health problems, the impact this may have on service users, and their treatment.
This is a community-based role that requires frequent travel to various locations throughout the county, including areas that may not be accessible by public transportation. Successful candidates will need to demonstrate how they will manage these travel requirements.

3. To develop the interface between primary and secondary care services so that patients/carers are offered focused and co-ordinated packages of care that are appropriate to their needs.
You will need to have knowledge of the CPA process, legislation around mental health, and The Mental Health Act. You will need excellent communication skills and place value on team and inter-agency working. We would like to work with an individual who wants to utilise their skills to effect positive changes for our service users.
We need a person who can demonstrate passion and commitment to mental health issues, have an approach to excellent client-centred care, and work flexibly as part of a team to deliver innovative health and social care. You will receive regular support and supervision from the Management and Leadership team.
