Join us and be part of Warrington Recovery Team's Community Mental Health (CMH) transformation. We are looking for an experienced mental health nurse practitioner, to help us implement the community mental health transformation road map.

In our new Recovery Team, we are providing high quality, low and high intensity care. We are moving to a needs led, rather than diagnostically informed model of care, that enables us to offer timely, responsive care to a wider number of people.

You will be involved with triage of assessments and needs led formulations alongside provision of timed (upto 12 weeks) stabilisation, extended assessment for service users who have complex needs where recovery focussed care is difficult to initially establish.

The practitioner may then support the safe transition back to primary care or into one of our high intensity programmes/care approaches.

Main duties of the job

The post holder will work with local services to provide mental health assessment, appropriate triage and deliver short term evidence based practice interventions.

You will work closely with the Team Management, Clinical Lead for transformation and colleagues in the Recovery Team, to support effective patient flow, ensuring timely interventions and positive outcomes for our service users are delivered.
