Band 6 Specialist Recovery Practitioner - Chippenham

An exciting new role has become available within NEW CMHT. We are a multidisciplinary team consisting of a talented pool of both registered and non-registered mental health professionals.

We are looking for a registered mental health nurse , who has clinical experience in working with individuals with severe mental illness.

We believe that empowering our staff to achieve their full potential directly improves outcomes for the people we support. In return, we offer a supportive team environment, opportunities for professional development, and the chance to make a real impact within your community., This role is for a keyworker within the psychotic pathway. We have moved away from the use of care programme approach (CPA) and now work with service users and carers under the "your team, your conversation, your plan" approach, which is a strength based, intervention led model of care, that supports the individual to address their own identified needs. We support the conversation through the use of a personal well-being and safety plan, as well the use of patient related outcome measures (dialogue +).

If you are a committed mental health professional with an RMN qualification, with excellent communication skills, who likes working as part of a team please apply. We warmly welcome informal contact from potential candidates in advance of application.
