Full Job Description
To provide a high quality and effective mental health support and care to Hackney residents. To respond to the needs of adults with mental disorder and their carers in a timely manner, within the boundaries of statutory legislation, and with regard to individual circumstances. To assess need using a person-centred approach and effectively asses and manage risk. To plan and deliver outcome focused interventions linked to promoting independence & social inclusion. To act as an allocated worker taking responsibility for the provision of community services to mental health services users and carers.
We are looking an enthusiastic and highly motivated worker, who shares our vision of making positive difference in the lives of our residents. Hence, we require a community mental health nurse, a social worker or an occupational therapist who is able to work under pressure and enjoy fast-paced work in a dynamic, supportive and friendly environment.
This role involves screening, assessing and providing short-term intervention to local residents who require support from mental health services. The role is structured around the neighbourhood model of care, which is about understanding the needs of local communities, building supportive social networks and strengthening the resilience of service users. The service is made up of practitioners from different professional backgrounds and we work closely with GPs, the voluntary sector and other teams within the mental health service to ensure that residents' needs are met.
You need experience of working with adults with serious and enduring mental health issues using the strength-based model. You will need to have good understanding of the principles of the Care Act, Mental Capacity Act and Mental Health Act and experience of safeguarding vulnerable adults.
Our mission is to make a positive difference to people's lives by improving the quality of life for all we serve. Our values are: We Care, We Respect, We are Inclusive - so we are looking for people who live and breathe these qualities when supporting service users and carers, and in their relationships with colleagues in the Trust and our partner organisations.
