Description
We are currently offering 2 Support to Recovery Posts into the Wakefield Early Intervention in Psychosis Service (Insight Team).

The team covers the Wakefield locality, working with people aged 14 to 65 and stretches across adult and childrens services.

The team forms part of the community service line within the Wakefield BDU.

The post holder would be expected to work across the Wakefield area with a named base currently in Drury Lane Hub Wakefield.


You need to be an individual who is self motivated, enthusiastic, and who has a desire to work to improve life chances of people who may be experiencing their first episode in psychosis.

This can take a lot of patience, requiring keen skills in creative engagement. Part of the role will involve health promotion; improving the physical heath of this group of service users as well as promoting the role of the insight team to capture appropriate referrals

The right value base and attitude is just as important to us as experience.

Working within an Early Intervention Team demands the ability to challenge traditional medical models and embrace a psychosocial approach to delivering care.
