This post is suitable for Band 6 Registered Mental Health Nurses, Social Workers and Occupational Therapists.
The team serves the population of Furness and has its base in Barrow. It is an established team with a friendly and supportive culture. There is a visible and supportive leadership team who are committed to clinical supervision and professional development.
This is a demanding role in a busy service. Ideally, you will have current or previous experience of working within a mental health setting. You will be clinically confident in working with individuals with complex needs and be able to work effectively in a multi professional context. You should have a collaborative and enthusiastic approach as well as passion and commitment in developing and promoting recovery based approaches for adults with severe and enduring mental health needs.
The post requires that you're a good communicator, and are able to adopt a flexible, adaptable and proactive approach to your work.
There is an expectation that the successful candidate will take on some leadership activities such as contributing to the learning and development of junior team members.
We encourage staff to continue to develop your own specialist knowledge and competence. Your development will be guided using clinical supervision, management supervision, Team/Peer support, internal and external training opportunities, including the Trust’s appraisal process.
The service is operational between the hours of 9am and 5pm.
The main job role is to perform duties as a Keyworker and you will manage a caseload of service users with a range of complex needs. You will develop care plans and deliver evidence based interventions and treatments to service users alongside managing risks in the community.
Part of your role will require you to undertake team duty responsibilities. This role involves managing unplanned patient work within the team, and responding to escalation of risk/crisis situations.
There is an expectation that the successful candidate will also take on some leadership activities such as contributing to the learning and development of junior team members, and taking a lead on/or contributing to projects identified by the Furness CMHT leadership team.
In return you will benefit from developing your own specialist knowledge and competence. Your development will be guided using clinical supervision, management supervision, team/peer support, specialist supervision, internal and external training opportunities, and the Trust’s appraisal process.
The service is based at Duddon House, Fairfield Lane, Barrow. The service is operational between the hours of 9.00am and 5pm although flexible working can be considered.
