• Offer psychological assessment, formulation and co-produce and implement appropriate care, treatment interventions and crisis contingency plans for people with CEN and complex trauma presentations
• Deliver trauma-informed and integrated group interventions in partnership with non-psychology mental health professionals and community partners.
• Liaise with colleagues and other professionals to contribute to the establishment of continuity of care across services with particular focus on facilitating the integration of interventions across the local health and social care setting, including statutory and voluntary, and physical and mental health sectors.
• Provide trauma-informed consultation to the broader staff team within NMHTs on the management of cases presenting with complex trauma and attachment-related issues.
• To manage a caseload of clients, in close collaboration with professionals guidelines and the overall framework of the NMHT policies and procedures
• To contribute to, and where requested, hold delegated responsibility for maintaining and developing the operational management structure in the service, compliant with Trust Policies and Key performance indicators.
Our mission is to make a positive difference to people's lives by improving the quality of life for all we serve. Our values are: We Care, We Respect, We are Inclusive – so we are looking for people who live and breathe these qualities when supporting service users and carers, and in their relationships with colleagues in the Trust and our partner organisations.
• Provide trauma-informed assessments, formulation and NICE recommended psychological therapies to people with complex emotional needs and complex trauma presentations
• Support local NMHTs to provide high quality care to people with CEN presentations through supervision, consultation, collaboration and co-production with service users
