Are you looking for a new challenge and want to offer the best care in times of Crisis?
Do you want to help shape the future of the CRHT?
We’re looking for like-minded people to join us and help provide top quality care to those who need it.
We have an opportunity for a Band 6 Mental Health Nurse (RMN) or Occupational Therapists (OT) to join the Crisis Resolution & Home Treatment Team (CRHT) at Woodlands Centre for Acute Care, St Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex.
The CRHT team is a part of acute care and works closely with the acute hospital and community teams to support clients in a mental health crisis. It offers clients care and support in their own homes as an alternative to hospital admission.
CRHT are able to offer all the benefits of a hospital admission while remaining at home including home visits from our experienced team, with support from doctors and psychology. We also facilitate supportive discharge from hospital, managing the transition back to community-based service.
This post offers the Trust’s £4,000 Incentive for band 5-7 Nurses & Practitioners, as well as a relocation package up to a maximum of £8,000 (subject to terms and conditions).
As an Urgent Care Practitioner in our team you will work in partnership with service users with complex health presentations, developing their care plans and recovery plans to enable them to lead fulfilling lives.
You will be responsible for the assessment, planning and implementation of top-quality care to service users. This will include working alongside service users, carers, families and partner agencies such as voluntary sector agencies, schools and colleges.
As well as providing specialist nursing advice and carry out nursing procedures, and monitoring the effectiveness of treatments in order to progress and ensure effectiveness of intervention.
You may also be involved in providing clinical supervision to staff and students. This may include acting as shift co-ordinator as needed to lead the team on shift, as well as allocating and delegating tasks to colleagues. You will be expected to liaise with other services and external agencies to triage referrals to the service and gatekeep inpatient admissions.
This is a fantastic opportunity to develop your leadership skills if you are looking for career progression in the future.
There are always opportunities for extra bank work and further experience throughout the Urgent Care Hub within our other services, and we welcome the opportunity to support your career if you are looking to gain added experience from another service area.
We are committed to career development and future aspirations and career goals are discussed openly and supported.
