This post will provide a trauma-informed service for people experiencing poor mental health who are housed within SHAP accommodations. The Rough Sleepers Mental Health Service (RSMHS) is a small multi-disciplinary team that consists of a Clinical Team Manager, Principal Psychological Therapist, Mental Health Practitioner, Community Support Worker and an Administrator. The team works work closely with partner services who also support rough sleepers, including Forward Leeds drug and alcohol service, Community Mental Health Teams, Leeds City Council, York Street GP practice and third sector street support services. The RSMHS is expanding due to an exciting new opportunity to be involved in a partnership with Leeds City Council and other organisations to deliver the Single Homelessness Accommodation Programme (SHAP). SHAP aims to accommodate some of the most entrenched rough sleepers in Leeds, through providing both appropriate accommodation and significant housing and healthcare support for residents. You will work alongside the SHAP Senior Psychological Professional, with the support of the wider RSMHS team, with a focus on supporting younger adults who are accommodated in SHAP housing. With access to appropriate clinical and management supervision, you will be able to demonstrate and practice a range of appropriate skills to include assessment (including risk assessment), formulation, safety planning and clinical interventions. The ideal candidate will have demonstrable experience of working as a qualified Mental Health Nurse/ Social Worker/ Occupational Therapist, including post-qualification experience relevant to the specialty, and with younger adults. You will have experience of working with people who are homeless, socially excluded and/or otherwise difficult for services to engage through traditional means. The service operates Monday to Friday and the hours can be flexible, depending on the needs of the post-holder, the service, and the client group. There may be a small requirement to work some evening hours, in order to meet service users needs. You will need to have the ability to travel between work bases around the Leeds area. This job role description sets out in generic terms the role and competencies needed to be a band 6 Senior Community Mental Health Practitioner in the Trust. A more detailed job plan will be provided to the post holder specific to the Rough Sleepers mental health service.
