Crynodeb
To case manage a small group of clients with complex mental, physical health, and social care needs who are high users of emergency and inpatient services.
The post holder will work collaboratively with these clients to identify and manage their priorities, supporting recovery while reducing unplanned hospital admissions. With the expansion of the Alcohol Assertive Outreach Team across South London—including Lewisham, Bexley, Greenwich, and Bromley—this role forms part of a regional initiative that integrates care across acute hospital sites and community services.
1) Manage a small caseload of clients with complex and multiple needs, including assessment, care planning, implementation, and regular review.
2) Conduct assertive outreach visits in the community, including attending clients’ homes and other agreed locations, to maintain engagement and support those reluctant to access services.
3) Proactively engage clients in alcohol treatment pathways, including structured psychosocial and/or pharmacological interventions, using motivational and trauma-informed approaches.
4) Act as an advocate for clients—supporting access to services related to housing, benefits, physical and mental health, and social care—while helping remove barriers to engagement.
5) Undertake dynamic risk assessments to ensure the safety and wellbeing of clients, staff, and volunteers in varied community and hospital-based settings
6) Maintain up-to-date and accurate clinical documentation, sharing relevant information with partner agencies to ensure coordinated care and risk management.
7) Support and supervise volunteers and contribute to informal guidance for Band 5 colleagues, ensuring safe and effective involvement across the service.
8) Contribute to service evaluation, quality improvement, and research projects aligned with the AAOT’s evidence-based model.
9) Participate in regular supervision, appraisal, and ongoing professional development, including fulfilling all mandatory training requirements.
South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust(SLaM) provide the widest range of NHS mental health services in the UK as well as substance misuse services for people who are addicted to drugs and alcohol. We work closely with the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience (IoPPN), King's College London and are part of King's Health Partners Academic Health Sciences Centre. There are very few organisations in the world that have such wide-ranging capabilities working with mental illness. Our scope is unique because it is built on three major foundations: care and treatment, science and research, and training.
SLaM employ around 5000 staff and serve a local population of 1.1 million people. We have more than 230 services including inpatient wards, outpatient and community services. Currently, provide inpatient care for approximately 5,300 people each year and treat more than 45,000 patients in the community in Croydon, Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark; as well as substance misuse services for residents of Bexley, Bromley and Greenwich.
The post holder will be assigned a primary hospital base at one of the participating sites:
• St Thomas’ Hospital
• King’s College Hospital
• University Hospital Lewisham
• Princess Royal University Hospital
• Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Woolwich
Candidates should express their site preferences on application and during interview; while these will be considered, final placements will be determined based on service capacity and needs.
In line with the team’s growth, and there is an expectation that some work will be carried out across the area, as service needs dictate. The role will also include the supervision and support of Band 5 clinicians as delegated by senior colleagues, offering day-to-day guidance and oversight.
