Specialist EIP Mental Health Practitioner - Yeovil, United Kingdom - Somerset NHS Foundation Trust
Description
Job summary
Calling all Social Workers, Occupational Therapists and Registered Mental Health Nurses
We have an excellent opportunity for a Specialist EIP Mental Health Practitioner to join an enthusiastic and passionate multi-disciplinary team who work creatively to support young people and adults years old) experiencing a first episode of psychosis.
The Somerset Team For Early Psychosis (STEP) provide assessment, case management, in reach, outreach, psychoeducation and liaison for people with first episode psychosis in the locality in order to reduce the duration of untreated psychosis.
National drivers support the implementation of Early Intervention in Psychosis Services and you will be involved in supporting STEP staff to deliver the Early Intervention Access and Waiting Time standards which includes timely assessment and delivery of a NICE concordant package of care.
This is a full-time position, working Monday - Friday 9am - 5pm, however part-time hours would be considered.
Somerset NHS Foundation Trust is a trailblazer for the NHS Community Mental Health Framework and as such we are dismantling the traditional barriers to accessing interventions, treatment and support. We have greatly expanded our mental health staffing in the Trust, working from within community settings through to specialist NHS mental health settings, to enable people to access the right interventions, at the right time and in the right place.
Main duties of the job
You will be working with a developing service which is challenging the traditional boundaries placed by the differentiation between primary and secondary care, with the ethos of 'no wrong door'. We are an innovative Trust and this post will be well suited to someone who is interesting in improving services, to deliver effective and compassionate care.
You will act as an initial point of contact, triaging referrals for people with first episode psychosis in the area and to provide specialist advice in relation to the care of people with psychosis and their families/carers. This may involve the provision of information/advice regarding psychosis, its management and pathways into mental health and related services.
You will provide a specialist community outreach service for people with suspected psychosis who may have difficulties engaging with primary or secondary care and their families. This will require highly developed persuasive, motivational, empathic and reassurance skills due to the lack of understanding/insight commonly associated with psychotic symptomatology in the client group.
About us
