Description

This is an exciting opportunity for the position of a Senior Mental Health Practitioner to join the Slough Community Mental Health Team (CMHT) at a time of new developments for the service.


Within the CMHT we have Senior Mental Health Practitioners who work as care coordinators in a longer-term way with people who live with severe and enduring mental illnesses.

There are also a number of Senior Mental Health Practitioners who work in with smaller caseloads in a more intense, goal-orientated way for shorter periods.

This is usually especially helpful for patients who require support to change their social circumstances.


The successful post-holder will work alongside dedicated clinicians from other disciplines: Psychologists, CBT Therapists, Psychiatrists, Occupational Therapists, Nurses and Social Workers.

We work in a multi-disciplinary way, undertaking comprehensive BioPsychoSocial assessments, developing transdiagnostic treatment plans, and with a focus on reablement and positive risk taking.


Working as a joint-funded service (NHS and Local Authority) we undertake statutory roles on behalf of Slough Borough Council, such as Care Act 2014 assessments for eligibility, Safeguarding reviews etc.; as well as NHS care coordination and treatment delivery in the community.
