Predominantly based in the Acute Liaison services at Kettering General Hospital and Northampton General Hospital, with the ability to travel countywide when required, providing frontline assessment and support to service users in ED and the wider hospital wards.

This role also incorporates the wider functions of the Crisis Pathway that include the countywide Mental Health Hub, Crisis cafes in partnerships with local 3rd sector providers, Police Street triage options, the Crisis Houses and Police Custody Healthcare.

Successful applicants would be willing to work across a range of these services, providing specialist mental health assessment and liaison to those in crisis.

The pathway has a strong emphasis on service user collaboration._
