Summary
CNWL has some exciting roles available in Milton Keynes - for the right people. Could you be one of them?
To improve the quality of care received by people with mental health needs in their local community, Adult Mental Health Community Services are delivered from a central location, called the Milton Keynes Community Mental Health Hub (MK MH Hub), based in Westcroft Health Centre.
The MK MH Hub brings together a wide range of mental health professionals working together as a multi-disciplinary team to provide evidence-based health and social care interventions. With service users at its heart, our aim is to deliver excellent care at the right time with a mutual focus on recovery.
Within the Hub three separate pathways are defined (Psychosocial, Diagnostic and Condition Management, and Therapies) from which all service users are able to access interventions such as Peer Support, Individual Placement Support, Coaching, and/or Specialist Therapy, dependent on their individual needs. Interventions are delivered both as groups and individual 1:1 sessions.
The Hub works closely with third sector agencies including the Crisis Café in Milton Keynes, as well as Milton Keynes University Hospital and the Local Authority. There are also opportunities for appropriately experienced staff to work in partnership with Thames Valley Police and South Central Ambulance Services.
Post holders will need to:
• Have an excellent knowledge of Mental Health conditions, therapies and current mental health legislation.
• Demonstrate the ability to support and apply a holistic, person-centred, approach to assessing and supporting the health and social care needs of people experiencing severe and enduring mental illness, who have been referred to the Hub.
