Do you want to be part of a new model of community mental health care working across an Integrated Care System?

Do you want to join a Digital Exemplar Trust, improving patient care through digital technology and systems?

Join team BSMHFT where our vision is simple - to improve mental health well-being, and our values of Compassion, Inclusion and Commitment are promoted in everything we do.

If you are dedicated to providing partnership care and being part of an innovative development of Local Neighbourhood Primary Care MDTs, in a city enriched by cultural diversity, join our teams at Longbridge CMHT, Rubery, Birmingham.

In return for your commitment, expertise, creativity, and ambition we will invest in your continuing professional development, encourage you to develop special interests, undertake research activities, forge links with academic centres or progress managerial aspirations to help you reach your full potential.

Main duties of the job

The Longbridge CMHT is one of 3 CMHTs in the South Community Hub. The CMHT looks after adults over the age of 25 and is supported by the South Assertive Outreach Team and the South Home Treatment team who support with mental health crisis, gatekeeping of admissions and step down from inpatient units.

It is anticipated that referrals and caseload numbers are likely to reduce as we progress with our Community Mental Health Transformation as part of the Long-Term Plans. There will be less focus on static caseloads and more focus on partnership working in local neighbourhoods aligned to Primary Care Networks.
