This is a full time (10 sessions) replacement post due to retirement. The mental health service provision in the community has undergone a recent transformation to move to a model of locality teams. This was to improve care provided to patients, have a smoother transition within the NSF teams as they will be all based within the team. This was to ensure patients got the right care with the required intensity of support relevant to their needs.

Main duties of the job

The main focus of the role will include the assessment of new patients referred to the service including students from the universities (Trent and Nottingham University), GP liaison work, management of patients within the recovery model, Mental Health Act work (Section 12) when required, day on-call duty rota (this will be based on a pro rata and on average 3 to 4 times a month for emergency work only, it is factored into the sessions and does not impact on work as it is a last resort cover), cover for colleagues when on leave and working within the multidisciplinary team supporting other members of the team. There will be an emphasis on providing leadership and consultancy to the team.
