Description

Do you want to work in a team where you can shape someone's first experience of mental health services, share your opinions, knowledge and expertise and make a difference, use evidence based interventions and be involved in research, receive training and awareness in interventions we know work with the client group?

If this is you then the North Tyneside Early Intervention in Psychosis (EIP) Team would like you to join us.

The post is a Band 6 Community Practitioner role working across Northumberland, offering interventions to year olds who are thought to be developing a first episode of psychosis.

You will work as part of a Multi disciplinary Team (MDT), be involved in assessing and providing interventions to service users as well as supporting families, whilst also working collaboratively with other professionals.

The service is committed to developing the skills of practitioners, so there will be opportunities to develop further clinical skills.

You will be involved in care co-ordination, but with a smaller caseload allowing greater opportunity to offer interventions / treatment.

Are you a Mental Health Nurse (RMN), Learning Disability Nurse, Occupational Therapist or Social worker? Do you have a passion to support service users in their recovery, engage and involve families in care planning and in using formulation to help a service user understand experiences?

In the role as a community practitioner you will:

triage referrals and allocate for assessment where appropriate.

- undertake initial assessment, feedback to MDT.
- act as point of contact for referrals and calls where they are not able to wait.
- manage a caseload, complete risk assessment and care planning, liaise with other professionals within and external to the team.
- provide evidence based interventions or support plans.

We aim to attract and retain a diverse, talented and committed workforce, who are caring and compassionate, and therefore able to meet the demands of the modern NHS now and in the future.

In return we can offer a dynamic working environment in which to build a career.

You will be working within an established Multi disciplinary EIP service.

Clinical Supervision and development of skills necessary for the role are offered within the team and you will be supported to develop.
