Senior Mental Health Practitioner - Early Intervention in Psychosis in Great Yarmouth

We have a rare and exciting opportunity to join our team on secondment or a fixed term basis as a Band 6 Senior Mental Health Practitioner/Case Manager. We cover the Great Yarmouth and Waveney area. We are looking for a dynamic individual who is passionate about improving services for those experiencing a first episode of psychosis aged 14-65. This is an opportunity to become a part of a highly skilled and experienced team delivering interventions to those people experiencing a first episode onset of psychosis.

Previous experience of working with psychosis in Early Intervention teams would be advantageous but is not essential. You will work alongside a dedicated group of clinicians who hold the service user, family, carers and social recovery at the centre of all that they do whilst being guided by National Standards to deliver timely and evidenced based interventions.

A core qualification is required; you might be a nurse, social worker or occupational therapist. We are particularly interested in applicants who have experience in delivering physical health interventions, such as phlebotomy and depot injections, for the skill mix of our team.

Phone calls, teams calls or visits to meet the team and manager are welcomed and encouraged.

• Be responsible for the care coordination of a caseload of people, working alongside the current MDT to deliver NICE concordant care.
• Collaborate with service users, families and carers within a framework guided by National Standards.

• Core professional qualification (e.g., nurse, social worker or occupational therapist).
• Experience delivering physical health interventions (e.g., phlebotomy and depot injections) is advantageous.
• Experience in early intervention for first-episode psychosis is desirable but not essential.
