Looking for a new job, an opportunity to up-skill or to simply change your career direction?

If so - become part of our team; where we care for you as much as you care for others.

To improve the quality of care received by people with mental health needs in their local community, Adult Mental Health Community Services are delivered from a central location, called the Milton Keynes Mental Health Hub (MK MH Hub), based in Westcroft Health Centre.

Within the Hub there are three pathways from which all service users are able to access interventions such as Peer Support, Individual Placement Support, Coaching, and/or Specialist

Therapy, dependent on their needs. Interventions are delivered both as groups and individual 1:1 sessions.

The Hub works closely with third sector agencies including the Crisis Café in Milton Keynes, as well as Milton Keynes University Hospital and the Local Authority. There are also opportunities for appropriately experienced staff to work in partnership with Thames Valley Police and South Central Ambulance Service.

Interviews will be conducted in a face to face setting.

The successful applicant may have contact with patients or service users. As an NHS Trust we strongly encourage and support vaccination as this remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course patients and service users when working on our healthcare settings

Post holders will need to:

Have an excellent knowledge of Mental Health conditions, therapies and current mental health legislation.

Demonstrate the ability to support and apply a holistic, person-centred, approach to assessing and supporting the health and social care needs of people experiencing severe and enduring mental illness, who have been referred to the Hub.

Were passionate about delivering first-class patient-centred, safe and effective care, whether it is in a hospital setting, in a community clinic or in the patients own home. Patients are at the heart of everything we do. Providing top quality care depends on our ability to employ the best people. Were always looking to recruit outstanding people who will go the extra mile to support our patients, colleagues, teams and the Trust. With every new employee were hoping to find our future leaders and well support our staff by providing opportunities to develop your career.

With a diverse culture and equally diverse range of opportunities across mental health, community services, addictions, eating disorders, learning disabilities and more whatever stage of your career you're at, there's always a place for you at CNWL.

The successful applicant will be able to deliver care and treatment for service users within the Assertive Outreach Team as part of the diagnosis and condition management pathway.

The applicant will work as part of a team supporting service users with complex presentations with difficulties engaging with the service.

The post holder will need to have a flexible approach and have a solid understanding of risk assessment, care planning and the recovery model.

Please refer to the job description and person specification attached for full details of the role.
