About Us

The North Warwickshire Community Mental Health Team is a newly formed team comprising of both The Recovery Team and The Community Mental Health & Wellbeing Team.

Our Team covers the locality of North Warwickshire & Rugby. We have two bases, one in Nuneaton and the other in Rugby and although you would be based in a particular location for expenses purposes, you are part of one large team, and you will get the opportunity to work across both localities with different colleagues.

This would be an ideal opportunity for a clinician who would be interested in developing their skills of managing a caseload and providing clinical interventions skills in an established and forward-thinking team in North Warwickshire.

Main duties of the job

The Role

Working within an established team, you'll be managing a caseload of clients who have complex mental health problems both with a psychotic illness and non-psychosis presentations and delivering a range of interventions and treatment across the whole patient group. As a successful candidate you will be given time and opportunity to build your skills and confidence to eventually allow you to undertake the role of management of a caseload. Those patients with a psychotic presentation may be managed through shared care within the team. This allows the sharing of responsibility, skills and knowledge which offers the opportunity for staff to develop their role whilst being supported and guided by more experienced clinicians.

You will be working as part of a multi-disciplinary team, using evidence-based approaches and time limited interventions. You'll be communicating with a wide variety of clients professionals partners and agencies.

Job description

Job responsibilities

Why Us?

Working for our Team is demanding and hard work but incredibly rewarding. It offers the opportunity to develop some excellent specialist skills and take part in imaginative and effective interventions. The nature of the team means that you bring your knowledge, experience, enthusiasm and empathy and are exposed to the knowledge and skills of other colleagues within the team, which promotes growth and development within your own practice at an accelerated rate. We are a team that recognises the work we do can be difficult at times and we have a strong supportive approach- both in professional matters and passing on good practice, learning and sharing risk but also when it impacts on us personally. We recognise the value in Supervision, and this is why we ensure we offer a range, including CBT supervision, Peer Supervision, Caseload Supervision & Development Supervision. They are well spaced, and this is something the team feel adds to the varying levels of support and shared responsibility.

Despite the demanding environment the sound of laughter is the most common noise in our team bases. Above all it is absolutely vital that you have a sense of humour if you wish to join our team.

Skills & Experience

An interest in working with people with complex and significant mental health problems is vital and we see this as an ideal opportunity to develop more specialist skills. Its important you have strong communication skills and you can work on your own initiative as well as collaboratively with colleagues. A willingness and enthusiasm to learn new skills and develop your practice is vital. There are tight deadlines, and you will be often under pressure but you will be supported throughout your time with the team and we invest time and energy in developing you as a clinician. You will have to make difficult decisions but having a supportive and experienced team and management alongside you, helps with that process.
