Band 5 Community Mental Health Nurse/OT/Social Worker
This is an exciting opportunity to join the Bury North Adult Community Mental Health team based at Newmarket Hospital as a Band 5 Mental Health Practitioner.
Our forward-thinking community mental health team is seeking a Band 5 Community Mental Health Practitioner to join the friendly and experienced team. You will have the opportunity in the future to work towards a developmental Band 6 role within the team.
As a mental health practitioner, you will be working with service users with mental health conditions that require ongoing care and treatment from secondary mental health services. We look to seek new ideas and ways forward and would welcome your experience and views.
It is the ideal time to join our collaborative team as we transform and develop the way we work. Although this is a full-time role, we can be flexible and can offer some hybrid working and/or flexible working patterns if needed.
Main Duties of the Job
As a lead care professional, you'll play a key role in our service users' recovery. You'll work with them to create a collaborative recovery care plan and review this regularly. You will work with the service user, carers, external agencies, and other services to ensure the service received is streamlined and cohesive.
You'll be working alongside a multi-disciplinary team, and part of your role will be to support in assessments and provide treatment. We will provide opportunities for you to learn and develop these skills. You'll regularly be working with external agencies as part of a service user's care, so being able to work well in a team and having excellent communication skills is vital. You can expect a thorough induction and training period, as well as opportunities for ongoing development. We hope to support you towards a Band 6 role in the future.
You can expect a manageable caseload and a supportive management team to ensure you're able to work independently, but support is never far away if needed. You will receive regular management and clinical supervision.
You'll be motivated, compassionate, and keen to ensure our service users receive the best possible outcomes.

Recent CQC inspection has shown improvements in the services which we plan to build on. This is an exciting time of transformation of mental health services in Suffolk, creating opportunities for services to recognise and consolidate what they are doing well and also to drive creativity to radically change service delivery. The changes are locally driven, with the aim of embedding mental health services within the community.
