Exciting Opportunity in Intensive and Assertive Team
This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to a new Intensive and Assertive Team designed to help our service users who present with psychosis and who also are likely to have complex needs and complex engagement patterns with services.
The cohort of patients under the service will be complex and vulnerable. This post would suit a person who is comfortable working with people presenting with high and complex risks, and is passionate about health equity. Understanding of how the wider systems and agencies work will be an advantage for this role.
In this 8b role, the main functions will be to provide:
- Specialist assessment and formulation of the most complex cases (including neuropsychological assessment).
- Multidisciplinary and multiagency consultation.
- Support for other member of the multidisciplinary team including the provision of supervision, consultation, reflective practice, and post-event reflections.
- Contribution to the development of the team’s working model and system pathways in line with national guidance and strategy (NICE guidance, National Guidance on Assertive and Intensive Community Mental Health Treatment).
- Leading service improvement, QI and service evaluation projects.
- To engage with family, carers, and our other stakeholders (e.g. VCSE, police) in order to promote the wellbeing and safety of our service users.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
It would be desirable within this role to have had previous experience working in community services for adults with serious mental illness and to be trained in CBT for Psychosis or some other relevant therapy model.
