Full Job Description

The post holder will be a member of the Milton Keynes Community Mental Health Hub and will deliver timely, safe and person-centred triage of routine adult mental health referrals transferred from SPA. The post holder will review referral information, make proportionate contact with the person and referrer where required, complete biopsychosocial assessment and risk formulation, determine the most appropriate pathway and document a clear outcome. The role will primarily focus on triage, formulation, clinical decision-making, advice, signposting and timely onward allocation. Where required by service need, the post holder may also undertake caseload management, act as keyworker and provide time-limited psychosocial interventions. The post holder will work closely with SPA, primary care, CRHTT, Hub pathways and partner agencies, escalating any presentation that cannot safely remain within the routine pathway., As part of the Community Mental Health Hub, you will provide skilled clinical triage and assessment for routine adult mental health referrals received from SPA. You will use professional judgement to assess need, risk and urgency, working collaboratively with service users, carers, referrers and the wider multidisciplinary team to agree safe and appropriate outcomes. The role includes contributing to daily referral discussions, supporting allocation, signposting and onward referral, and escalating concerns where increased risk or urgency is identified. You will promote recovery-focused, strengths-based and trauma-informed practice, maintain high standards of clinical documentation and decision-making, and contribute to the supervision and development of colleagues and students.

Our Hub is a busy, supportive and evolving service where teamwork really matters. We encourage people to bring their ideas, learn from one another and have a voice in how we improve. You'll be joining a team that values openness, collaboration and development, with a shared commitment to providing the best possible care for the people and communities we serve.
