Description

CERT was set up in 2014 to provide intensive, bespoke packages of care to service users in their own homes, as an alternative to being in Locked Rehabilitation, out of city hospital placements.

The team works with up to 45 service users with mental health problems, personality disorders and/or learning disabilities to support them to move from hospital into their own tenancies.

Referrals are primarily received from inpatient acute and rehabilitation services.


Service users are supported by a full multi-disciplinary team with the aim of enabling them to live independent and fulfilled lives.

The team provides intensive quality interventions between 8am and 8pm, 7 days a week.


As a Care Co-ordinator you will be responsible for managing a small, but intensive caseload service users and supervising a mini team of recovery workers.

You will also be expected to provide leadership and coordination to the team on a day to day basis.


The post holder will work within a multi disciplinary team to work with people to identify their own recovery goals and take back control of their own lives in order to live as independently as possible.

As a care coordinator within the team you will be responsible for the care coordination of a small number of people and the organisation and supervision of a mini team of recovery workers.

You will also be responsible for coordinating the day and responding to crises where necessary, delegating tasks to colleagues.


As a member of a continually developing service the post holder will have the opportunity to contribute to the development of the team.


We are passionate about providing the very best care to the people we support, and we're looking for amazing people who share this passion to join us.

What is it that makes our Trust such a special place to work? Well, it's all about the people.

Our staff, service users, carers and families all come from such diverse backgrounds and all have expertise and stories to share.

It's important that you feel supported in your role, that the people who you work with are as passionate as you are and that your health and wellbeing is taken care of


If you're interested in developing your career, you'll have access to a range of training and education opportunities, including apprenticeships, work experience and placements, as well as the chance to get involved in research.


We are all very proud of the difference we make to people's lives each and every day and if that's something that you'd like to be part of we'd love to have you with us.
