Summary

Community Mental Health Services in City & Hackney are undergoing a significant period of transformation as we move to an integrated Neighbourhood Community Mental Health Model. The new model brings together professionals from across health and social care into local multidisciplinary teams, making services easier to access, better connected, more responsive, and focused on the individual needs of service users.

The service is organised into four geographically aligned neighbourhood teams (quadrants), each supporting people living within their local area. Whilst we are working towards establishing a neighbourhood base within each local area, services are delivered from two main sites, with Vivienne Cohen House supporting the East of the borough and Donald Winnicott House supporting the West of the borough. These vacancies are across the neighbourhood service and successful candidates will be based at one of these locations.

We are seeking enthusiastic and skilled Registered Mental Health Nurses, Occupational Therapists and Social Workers to join our neighbourhood teams as Band 6 Community Mental Health Practitioners. Whilst practitioners will utilise their professional skills and expertise within the role, these posts are primarily focused on care coordination within a multidisciplinary neighbourhood team.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a service at a pivotal stage of development and help shape the future of community mental health care in City & Hackney.

To be an active member of the multi-disciplinary team providing assessment, care and support to people with Mental Health problems within the quadrant mental health teams in City and Hackney.

To conduct comprehensive and high quality assessments– including risk assessments and Dialog + plans.

Manage a caseload, acting as a case manager when required, setting up, implementing and reviewing individualised appropriate care and support plans.

To promote the needs of service users with mental health needs and to offer and provide training and education whenever possible.

To be part of a Duty Rota responding to emergencies and processing referrals.

To assist the Senior Practitioners and the Operational Lead in the management of the service and deputise in their absence.

Our mission is to make a positive difference to people's lives by improving the quality of life for all we serve. Our values are: We Care, We Respect, We are Inclusive – so we are looking for people who live and breathe these qualities when supporting service users and carers, and in their relationships with colleagues in the Trust and our partner organisations.
