Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust
This job is now closed
Job summary
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced mental health nurse or Occupational therapist to join the Leeds Assertive Outreach Teams (AOT). This post is a temporary contract fixed for 12 months but will also consider applicants interested in a secondment opportunity. The teams provide a city wide seven day extended hours service, with working hours of Monday - Friday 9am-8pm and weekends and Bank Holidays 9am - 5pm. Due to the area the service covers being a car driver is essential.
Main duties of the job
Ideally you will have had community and care coordination experience but this is not essential and you will be supported to gain confidence in this. You will need to have experience of working with psychosis, and a genuine interest in supporting the recovery of people experiencing severe and enduring complex mental health problems who are difficult to engage, may have a dual diagnosis and a history of risk. You will need to demonstrate innovative and creative ways to working with service users and have knowledge of working within the mental health act.
Through the CPA process you will offer individual packages of care working with a smaller caseload than is typical in a CMHT of twelve service users as a full time worker within a team approach structure. This care will be delivered through the team approach in a multidisciplinary team, therefore good communication and team working skills are necessary. The MDT team will support you to deliver quality care to service users both in the community informally, subject to CTOs, and service users who require hospital admission.
We would welcome any interested applicants to have a discussion either over the phone or to come and visit the team to find out more.
