Job overview

Looking for a Fantastic Opportunity?  ‘’Your Future Job is Here’’ 

We are looking to recruit 3 (three) full-time (part-time working will also be considered) B6 care co-ordinators who hold the relevant professional qualification and registration within our Ealing Community Rehabilitation Team (psychosis pathway).  We are looking for someone who is innovative, motivated and interested in a new challenge.  You will be joining an enthusiastic and hardworking multi-disciplinary team, passionate about the care we deliver.

The Ealing Adult Community Rehabilitation Team provides support for people with complex care needs related to psychosis and (where relevant) co-existing substance use and physical health problems. The service provides a less restrictive alternative to inpatient rehabilitation by providing intensive support for service users so that rehabilitation occurs in the community. With a multidisciplinary and whole-team approach, the emphasis is on delivering individualised and recovery-focussed care.

This post also attracts a generous “golden hello” payment in the first year (Extra 10% of annual basic salary paid over 12 months once probation period has been completed)

This only applies to external candidates. In all cases of Golden Hello payment, staff would be asked to re-pay a proportion of the payment made if the organisation did not retain them for a period of two years or more.

Main duties of the job

We welcome applications from either a Nursing, Social Work or Occupational Therapy background for this care co-ordinator role. With this role comes great opportunities for development and progression, including working for a Trust who has adopted newer ways of working and free allocated parking! Please do highlight on your application should you wish to be considered for part-time working hours.
