Band 6 Urgent Care Practitioner
We have an opportunity for a Band 6 Urgent Care Practitioner to join the Crisis Resolution & Home Treatment Team (CRHTT) at Langley Green Hospital in Crawley, West Sussex. We would particularly welcome applications from qualified Occupational Therapists and / or Social Workers.
About CRHTT
CRHTT is a part of urgent care and works closely with the acute hospital and community teams to support service-users experiencing a mental health crisis. It offers service-users' care and support in their own homes as an alternative to hospital admission.

Role Overview
As an Urgent Care Practitioner in CRHTT you will work in partnership with service users with complex health presentations, developing their care plans and recovery plans to enable them to lead fulfilling lives.
