The CRT supports people who have chronic and disabling mental health problems that may be treatment resistant and who have previously spent long periods in hospital.
We are looking for people who are reliable, committed and dedicated, who have excellent communication and organisational skills and the ability to prioritise their work.
This is a permanent, full time posts working between the hours of Monday to Friday 09:00 to 17:00.
The community rehabilitation team supports people to reach an optimum level of function; focussing on activities of daily living, vocation and leisure and the post holder will work towards these goals and:
• Provide care for people both in the community and for those planning discharge from the Rehabilitation Inpatient units with severe mental illness who have multiple and complex needs under the direction of qualified practitioners.
• Provide support to an allocated group of service users, promoting their recovery and social inclusion and maintaining them in their community environment (STR role).
• Focus on the direct needs of service users, working across boundaries of care, organisation and role, coordinated through the Integrated Care Programme Approach (ICPA).
• Support the service user in assessment and planning and implementing their care plan
This will be a flagship service enabling Dorset HealthCare to become one of the best rehabilitation services across the country.
