Role Overview
This is an interim 6 PA, 12-month fixed term post pending the outcome of the review. Given the close working relationships across both teams in the Crisis pathway, and the small caseload in HTT (some of whom will not require medical management), the postholder is expected to work flexibly across the crisis and home treatment pathway.
Responsibilities
- Work alongside the consultant in the CLiC team to lead on the assessment and management of YP presenting with complex mental health crises in A&E, some of whom may require input and brief interventions from the HTT.
- Lead on the medical management of cases in the HTT and provide support and advice to non-medical colleagues across both pathways.
- Support multi-agency working across sectors and plan appropriate discharge/suitable alternatives to admission on a case-by-case basis.
- Work closely with the operational manager of the Crisis pathway, lead nurse, the full-time consultant in the CLiC team and both team managers.
- Lead on the assessment and risk management of 2-3 high risk complex crisis cases a week which will include 1-2 follow ups across both teams.
