Senior Mental Health Practitione

Are you a registered professional inspired to help people who need intensive short -- term help at home, either as an alternative to hospitalisation, or in the transition phase when returning home from hospital? If so, we would be delighted to hear from you as these are some of the qualities we want you to bring to the CRHTT in Mid and North Hampshire. Are you one of the people who can continue to make this vision a reality?

The Team maintains our focus on providing quality Home Treatment both during supported discharge and as an alternative to Hospital admission.

You would be joining a Trust that has a Philosophy of Recovery based practise, and you will have the opportunity to contribute to the working within an established CRHT Team.

Our aim is to provide the kind of Service that we would expect for ourselves, or for someone that we love and care for. A service that promotes self-direction, independence, and choice, that respects the individual, and provides the treatment and help that is needed as a priority., As a Band 6 mental health practitioner you will be taking a lead role in the team, supervising, and supporting other team members, and will be expected to have the skills and knowledge that will facilitate effective care being delivered to service users in their own homes.

Southern Health is one of the largest NHS Foundation Trusts in the UK, specialising in mental health and learning disabilities, as well as offering physical health community-based services.

With a workforce of more than 7000 and a footprint that spans more than 200 sites across Hampshire, we're committed to providing the best possible healthcare, reaching a range of diverse communities, whilst placing patients and staff at the forefront of all our endeavours.

We are currently working closely with other NHS Trusts to combine all our collective community, mental health, and learning disability services, with the plan to create a new larger, more integrated and accessible organisation.

The transformation will happen in stages; Hampshire CAMHS, part of Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust joined Southern Health in February 2024, with Isle of Wight NHS Trust mental health and community services transitioning across in May 2024. The final combination of Southern Health and Solent NHS Trust services is expected in late 2024, when our new organisation, to be known as Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, will be formed.

Our new Trust will continue to cater to the unique needs of different communities, making healthcare across the county more accessible, as well as offering staff more opportunities for career development, training and partnership working.

Join us as we embark on this exciting journey to shape the future of healthcare in Hampshire.
