Job Overview
Are you Dynamic? Motivated? Passionate about community-based care?
If you can answer yes to these questions, then we want you to apply for our Band 6 post in Sarum CMHT. We have redesigned a model of care based on identified pathways and are looking for clinicians who are skilled or have an interest in training to deliver interventions to service users on a psychotic pathway.
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
We currently have vacancies that will enhance our current structure, whether you have an interest in working with service users with serious mental illness in our Psychotic Pathway or have a more therapy-based desire to work with service users within our Complex Emotional Support Needs Pathway.
In both pathways, we are proud to work in a recovery-focused way, offering support and educating service users in practical and theoretical ways to manage the distress that their symptoms may bring them.
Within the Complex Emotional Needs Pathway, we are in a fortunate position to be able to offer training in Structured Clinical Management (SCM) and DBT for the DBT service in Wiltshire.
The Psychotic Pathway has an established clinic where we are able to oversee medication compliance and management. This is particularly exciting for those who would like to work in the community but also enjoy clinical nursing skills.
The successful applicant will be responsible for the care coordination of a complex caseload of service users within the appointed pathway.
The role will involve providing therapeutic interventions yourself and also linking in with other professionals to coordinate their interventions, all of which will be done within the CPA process.
Main Responsibilities
1. Care coordination of a complex caseload of service users.
2. Leading the CPA process.
3. Multi-agency working.
4. Risk management working.
5. Administration of medications.
6. Fulfilling the CMHT duty worker role on a rolling rota.
