**Are you looking for a band 6 community job with without a caseload? **

**Do you enjoy crisis style work but not the shift work?**

We are looking for an experienced individual to support service users requiring increased support from the Community Mental Health Team (CMHT). The team has a strong group of care co-ordinators, however there are times when service users require more input than a care co-ordinator can provide. At these times we utilise 'shared care'. We are looking for an individual to lead on the 'shared care' work. This is pre-planned work supporting service users who may have increased risk, emotional distress or relapse in their mental illness. As these are the service users we are most concerned about, there is an expectation of joint working with the Crisis Resolution Home Treatment and Mental Health Liaison Teams.

The Winchester Adult CMHT is looking for an enthusiastic, dedicated, and talented professional to join the team. In return for your commitment to us we will work with you to realise your professional ambitions and support your development within one of the following areas of recognised clinical excellence:

-Clinical expertise

-Education

-Quality Improvement and Research

-Leadership and Management
