Summary
A Vacancy at Barnet, Enfield & Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust.
We are really pleased to be offering this exciting full-time consultant post as part of the Community Transformation Programme following additional NHS funding for Community Mental Health Services.
The post offered is that of Consultant Psychiatrist in General Adult Psychiatry (10PA), working in the newly configured West Haringey Locality Team. The West Haringey Locality Team is aligned to the West Haringey Primary Care Network linked with the GPs to the West of the Borough.
The job description is currently being approved by the Royal College.
The West Team will receive on extra consultant (there will be two in post in total), new psychology roles to improve CBT and CAT pathways. There will be 9 new Voluntary Care Sector (VCS) (from Hestia) staff within the team to support with integration into the community, additional primary care workers and primary care practitioners to assist with supervision of health care for our services users and liaison with GPs. There will be additional clinical roles to support CAMHS transition to adult mental health services and an increased number of staff and scope to the community occupational therapy division. There will be access to community pharmacist across three teams and dedicated pharmacy technicians to support individual teams.
Clients requiring regular depot injections will usually attend the Wellbeing Clinic but may still be supported by a care coordinator if they have additional social care needs that cannot be met by the Wellbeing Clinic.
The West Locality team also works closely with the Haringey Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Team (CRHTT), which is also based at St Ann’s Hospital and functions as gatekeeper to all inpatient admissions. The post-holder is encouraged to attend weekly interface meetings with the CRHTT to give input to the treatment planning for clients in crisis as a way of ensuring continuity of care.
The West Community Team thereby envisages an integrated community team working seamlessly with primary care to offer a holistic model of care for the welfare and enablement of our service users.
The scope of the extra resources will allow community services to have a broader remit to engage clients who are traditionally caught between primary and secondary care, offer help at the point of crisis (with the aim of cutting waiting times) and offering evidence based psychological treatment and physical health monitoring in line with national standards. The increased recruitment of voluntary care sector staff is with the awareness that clinical care accounts for only 20% of health outcomes, while socioeconomic, behavioural, and environmental factors determine the remaining 80%.
Formed in 2001 through the merger of its predecessor organizations, Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust (BEH-MHT) continues to innovate and develop at a fast pace. We are a large mental health trust in London with an annual budget of £337 million and employing more than 3,300 staff. We serve a population of 1.2 million and operate from over 20 main sites in the community. In 2020-21 the trust cared for more than 126,176 people; approximately 2,800 patients on our wards and over 128,388 service users in the community.
We provide a wide range of local and more specialist mental health services, including helping people with serious mental illness (SMI), personality disorders, drug and alcohol recovery, children’s mental health issues, dementia, eating disorders, learning disabilities, ADHD and suicide prevention. The Trust has an overall Care Quality Commission (CQC) rating as ‘Good’ from 2019 and retained the ‘good’ rating in 2022. It also runs the North London Forensic Service (NLFS), which the CQC has rated as Outstanding.
Our CEO, Jinjer Kandola MBE has been appointed to be joint CEO for both BEH and Camden and Islington Trust, bringing the two organisations ever closer together and they are now working in a partnership across North Central London. This is allowing for the joint expertise, increased innovation and reduction in barriers with joint initiatives.
The post holder will be expected to provide clinical leadership for the Haringey West Locality Team. The post-holder will be expected:
• To manage an established caseload of patients on CPA, many of whom use medication
• To contribute to the management of non-CPA clients in collaboration with colleagues from psychological therapies service streams and other staff groups working in the team
• To act as Responsible Clinician (RC) for the clients of the West Locality Team treated on a Community Treatment Order (CTO, S17A MHA) under your PCN.
• To contribute to the assessment of newly referred cases per month and formulate appropriate treatment plans in collaboration with colleagues in other disciplines.
