This is an exciting time to join Mental health Services in NHFT.

This post will provide support to CMHT's in the South of the county to enhance the effectiveness of treatment for individuals with a personality disorder. The post holder will be supported to work with individuals and make a significant contribution to the understanding of the diagnosis of personality disorder, support others to further develop therapeutic skills (e.g. in sharing and discussing information about diagnosis, goal setting, analysing crisis behaviour, and identifying and addressing barriers to discharge), and contribute to discharge planning within an SCM treatment programme.
Psychological formulation, reflective practice and an investment in on-going professional development are embedded in our approach and the post holder will also have the opportunity to continue to expand their own knowledge and skills by contributing to the delivery of therapeutic programmes offered by the service.
About us
We are in the process of reforming our current adult community mental health services into smaller multi-disciplinary teams that align with the primary care networks. This will ensure closer working relationships with GP's, other agencies/organisations and service users/carers, providing a more responsive service tailored for the local community. This will also involve building and maintaining positive links with other services within NHFT.
You will be an practitioner working as part of a multi-disciplinary team including healthcare registered professionals, psychologists, medical staff, Peer Support Workers and Wellbeing Navigators to deliver high-quality person-centered care in the community.
Job description Job responsibilities

You will be offered training in CBT, DBT and Brief solution focused therapy (as required) to allow delivery of a range of treatment Programmes / interventions to support and enable recovery.
