Summary
The Enfield CRHTT is a 24 hour per day, 7 day per week service which provides urgent care
for people experiencing mental health crisis as an alternative to hospital admission. The
team views crisis as meaningful, a crossroads in someone’s life. We draw on several
different models to understand this including family/systemic perspectives and the recovery
model. The CRHT is crucial in delivering urgent crisis resolution assessments and treatment
for service users by assessing their needs and caring for them in the least restrictive
environment. The service will also ensure effective gatekeeping of all service users referred
to the service for admission to Hospital. The post holder will ensure a high-quality
responsive service to service users and referrers.
The Enfield CRHTT is in the process of delivering an ambitious development program. This
