Are you a Mental Health Nurse eager to make a profound impact in the lives of adults facing mental health crises in Oxfordshire?
We are currently seeking a Crisis Clinician on a full time basis to join a growing service!
About the Role
We're embarking on an ambitious expansion of our Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment service in Oxfordshire. Our mission is clear: to improve and provide least restrictive mental health support to our communities and service users. We're committed to providing comprehensive, recovery-focused assessment and treatment to individuals transitioning out of inpatient services. We're on a bold mission to rewrite the rules and redefine support. Our commitment is crystal clear: to offer holistic, recovery-focused care to individuals in their transition from inpatient services.
Responsibilities
Crisis Clinicians Will
- Deliver recovery-focused psycho-social crisis intervention to service users and their families.
- Coordinate plans of care with other Oxford Health teams and other agencies ensuring transitions between services are safe and seamless.
Oxford Health works in partnership with 5 third sector providers as part of the Oxford Mental Health Partnership (OMHP), and the new crisis service will be working closely with partners, in particular Oxfordshire Mind and the Safe Haven services in order to ensure diversity and choice of service for people experiencing a mental health crisis.
