New Post Created as Part of Oxleas Trust Redesign of the Community Psychosis Pathway
This is a new post created as part of Oxleas Trust redesign of the community psychosis pathway. This has partly been driven by the events in Nottingham in June 2023, and a desire for the Trust to be able to deliver a more assertive, flexible and evidenced care pathway for patients with psychosis.
Oxleas has excellent Early Intervention in Psychosis Teams delivering care for first episode patients from age 18-65 with a team based in each Borough. These have typically been rated as good or excellent in the annual NCAP audit.
Role Overview
The team has a full time band 7 and a full time band 6. The main function of these staff is to provide daily assessments. The team will have support from 2 days of a higher trainee and possibly a day from a GP trainee, which will most likely be a physical health clinic where patients may need blood tests or an ECG prior to resuming medication. These 2 junior medical posts will be shared with the Greenwich EIP team. The team will have admin support.
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.
The team will overall have line managerial support from a Trust-wide band 8 post and within each Borough there will be senior pathway lead roles.
Key Relationships
Key relationships within the team will be with our Borough based EIP teams and the clinical and operational leads in the new Community Psychosis Teams. The team will need to work collaboratively with our existing Hubs and also colleagues within our crisis pathway when admission, Home Treatment or MHA assessment are required.
