NEIS is a progressive and evolving team, looking to recruit candidates who are similarly interested in creative approaches to supporting individuals with First Episode Psychosis. It is important that our values align with that of any successful candidate.
Newham has the highest rates of psychosis among all London boroughs. The ambition for NEIS is to develop a sustainable model of care that collaborates with service users and families, harnessing the collective power of the broader community and community-based services. We are therefore keen to meet candidates who are passionate about using innovative and community-based approaches to support the recovery of individuals and their networks.
You would be working in a highly-motivated multi-disciplinary team, which values the unique contribution of each member. We are particularly interested in supporting Care Coordinators in their professional development, through accredited training courses or by setting up new projects. We are also interested in broadening the scope of our therapeutic interventions, and welcome new ideas around how we can develop these.
