Description

Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to develop the new Community Rehabilitation Team to support service users experiencing complex psychosis, who are ready to step down from inpatient rehabilitation services into the community.

We aim to reduce the length of inpatient stay for service users in acute and rehabilitation wards, incorporating least restrictive practice, the NICE guidelines for complex psychosis and the Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) national program.


We are looking to recruit a motivated and enthusiastic Social Inclusion Worker to join our supportive multidisciplinary team and contribute to this exciting endeavour.


The team has a strong emphasis on the Recovery Model, working with service users to maximise their independence and autonomy to improve their quality of life.

Your personal development priorities will be shared and supported through our appraisal process.

The team operates during office hours of Monday to Friday 9am-5pm.


Our social inclusion workers will support service users to access socially inclusive activities to maintain their wellbeing and to prevent relapse.

You will work to goal oriented care plans to empower and enable service users to live as independent life as possible, by supporting our service users to access a range of community based resources such as housing, community groups, vocational, employment and education
opportunities and substance misuse services.


The role will involve working closely with a range of professionals to include our VCSE partners as well as inpatient services, community services and supported accommodation providers.


We are proud to provide high quality mental health and learning disability services, both inpatient and in the community across five boroughs of Greater Manchester - Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Stockport and Tameside and Glossop.


Our vision is for a happier and more hopeful life for everyone in our communities and our staff work hard to deliver the very best care for the people who use our services.

We're really proud of our #PennineCarePeople and do everything we can to make sure we're a great place to work.
