Job summary

We are a small, friendly team who believe in working together and supporting each other in managing complex cases.

If you are a highly motivated, enthusiastic, flexible, resourceful and resilient individual who is committed to providing care with compassion to service users in their recovery, the CMHT is the place to work. We believe in delivering specific episodes of care to empower people to work towards recovery.

Main duties of the job
The role of the care coordinator is to have an agreed caseload, working collaboratively with service users and carers. There is a wide range of interventions that can be offered which may include psychological interventions, medication support, access to group work and carers support. We aim to engage service users creatively, develop collaborative care plans including risk management plans, care plans and crisis contingency plans. You will have access to the MDT and a leadership team to receive support and guidance when required.

You will need robust assessment skills to enable the team to deliver high quality care and treatment plans. Excellent communication skills are also essential to enable you to be a role model for others, as well as positively representing the team and the organisation as a whole.

We are looking for those with good communication skills who work well in a multi disciplinary team. We are keen for staff to take leadership roles where appropriate and to provide supervision to other members of the team.
