Crynodeb
Community Mental Health Services are undergoing widespread, innovative transformation. North London Foundation Trust are at the forefront of this transformation, developing a more holistic, recovery oriented, biopsychosocial approach to supporting people with mental illnesses, in partnership with primary care, other community NHS providers and the voluntary sector. The aim is to build support systems that reach the whole mental health population with a focus on prevention and sustained recovery delivered by multi-agency collaboration. Each population unit is based on the footprint of Primary Care Networks, bringing together NHS, voluntary sector, peer support and community organisations. These relationships will be central to the new community mental health model. The poster holder will be part of the North Islington Core team providing assessments, formulations, and interventions (individual and group) to those presenting with severe mental health problems in the London borough of Islington. The role has been combined to cover two postholders on maternity leave, to provide interventions within the newly formed Service Teams within Islington. The aim of the service is to increase the number of people whose mental health support is appropriately managed in line with the Community Framework for Mental Health using a population health approach. The post holder will act as a fully integrated member of the team providing a specialist psychological perspective to support the transformation and development of the service. The post holder will work with multidisciplinary colleagues to increase psychological and trauma informed practice as well as offer evidence-based interventions. The post holder will provide highly specialist psychological assessment and treatment using evidence-based, NICE recommended interventions and will work autonomously within professional guidelines and within the overall framework of the services policies and procedures. The postholder will be expected to oversee and offer supervision to staff working on the complex emotional needs pathway. This part of the post will have a cross borough reach to support the roll out of a Structured Clinical Management (SCM) pilot. Postholders will be part of newly developed psychology hubs within each borough as well as being integrated within Service Teams. This will support more effective co-ordination and delivery of psychological interventions within the borough.
