Description

This is a new permanent role created to help us deliver our plans to transform our community mental health services, as part of the NHS Long Term Plan.

The transformation of our community mental health services will lead to truly integrated health and social care for adults in Barnet, Enfield and Haringey who have serious mental illness.

Our transformation plans are supported by £25m in funding and will mean the roll-out over the next three years of multi-disciplinary teams of experts working within the new Primary Care Networks and offering wraparound, holistic care to our service users and the wider community.

Our aim is to support the whole person as they live with, or recover from, mental illness and to offer them support with other challenges they may face, such as debt, relationship problems, housing, education or training.

We will also focus resources on reaching those who currently face obstacles in getting the help they need.

Carry overall responsibility for the management of a caseload, as an RMN, acting as a care coordinator, as defined by the Care Programme Approach (CPA).
Deliver effective care and treatment that is carried out within a multidisciplinary framework and in collaboration with other agencies.
Involve service users and their carers in planning care that includes all of their individual and diverse needs.
Design individual programmes of care collaboratively with patients to maximize self-management and social inclusion and reflect their own goals and aspirations. Review and adjust plans according to changing service user needs.
Provide evidence-based therapeutic interventions using developed interpersonal skills such as CBT or psycho-education

At Barnet, Enfield and Haringey NHS Community and Mental Health Trust our staff and service users have worked closely to create a set of values that make sure people who use our services get the best possible chance of a rapid recovery.

The Trust's values are:

By coming to work at Barnet, Enfield and Haringey NHS Trust you will be joining a multiple award-winning, combined mental health (MH) and community Trust providing local, regional and national healthcare services.
