About The Team

We provide a 24-hour service to Croydon University Hospital offering urgent assessment and intervention to patients. The team includes Nurses, Doctors, an Occupational Therapist, and a Clinical Psychologist.
About the location
The Croydon area has excellent schools both in the state and private sectors. Mental health care for patients who attend CUH is delivered by the Croydon Mental Health Liaison Service provided by South London & Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (SLaM). We are an ageless service along with the Older Adult Liaison Psychiatry Service.
About The Role
The successful candidates will be clinically confident in assessing mental health service users presenting in emergencies, carrying out short-term interventions, and making independent decisions. You will thrive in a fast-paced environment, often working under pressure. You will possess excellent assessment, communication skills, and interpersonal skills. You will work well with others and enjoy multidisciplinary work while maintaining the highest standard in the quality of care. You will be expected to work in partnership with our clinical assessment unit (CAU), part of the mental health liaison services within the hospital.
