Description

The Medical Support Worker (MSW) post was developed in 2020 as part of the response to the Covid-19 National Emergency.

It provides an opportunity for doctors to utilise skills and training to assist with patient care in a supportive and supervised setting and to gain experience of working in the NHS.

The post is suitable for doctors who have not been practising recently or for international medical graduates in the process of gaining full GMC registration with a licence to practice.

Riverside CMHT is one of 2 CMHTs in the EAST Community Hub.

The CMHT looks after adults over the age of 25 and has links to other teams within the Community Hub which includes the Assertive Outreach Team.

There is also a dedicated Home Treatment Team that is geographically linked to the CMHT.

It is anticipated that referrals and caseload numbers are likely to reduce as we progress with our Community Mental Health Transformation as part of the Long-Term Plans.

There will be less focus on static caseloads and more focus on partnership working in local neighbourhoods aligned to Primary Care Networks.

Welcome to Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust.

Our 4000 clinical and support staff help us to improve mental health wellbeing and meet the needs of the 70,000 people we serve each year.

We provide a range of mental healthcare services across Birmingham and Solihull, as well as specialised services nationally.

We also offer medical, nursing and psychology training and are proud of our international reputation for both research and innovation.

Our population is culturally diverse, characterised in places by high levels of deprivation which create an increasing demand for our services and a necessity for us to make sure everyone can access the help they need.

We are a team of compassionate, inclusive and committed people working together to provide excellent care to support our community.

If you are looking for a place to belong, where you can make a real difference to people's lives, join our team where our warm welcome is waiting for you.
