Community Recovery Team Lead
NHS AfC: Band 6
Trosolwg o'r swydd
The Community Recovery Team (CRT) sits within the organisation’s Recovery Pathway Services, in the Adult Mental Health, Learning Disability and Specialty Services Directorate, and is a county wide service.
The Team is set up to support people transferring from mental health hospital rehabilitation services to community living. It was also commissioned to, where possible; find ways to prevent admissions to mental health hospital rehabilitation services and to reduce the amount of time service users spend within them. This enables care to be offered in the least restrictive environment, as supported by recovery research into this area. The team also offers support for people who are leaving hospital with a need for individual packages of care and other supported living accommodation; as well as for people who are living in their own homes or with family members.
Prif ddyletswyddau'r swydd
People who may benefit from the Recovery team will be identified as early as possible within their care pathway to enable the development of positive relationships and a thorough understanding of that person’s needs. This will be achieved by working with other care providers and facilitating a handover to support a seamless transition.
It is expected that packages of care will be quite intensive and will reduce over time. The team will however have the ability to increase support during difficult times to prevent acute admission.
The post holder will be working in an integrated skill mix team, including a Service Manager; Operational Manager; Clinical Lead Psychologist and other qualified clinicians, and other administrative staff. This requires close liaison with other community mental health and learning disability services; in-patient services; the Local Authority, and a wide range of non-statutory service providers.
The post involves frequent travel, between the organisation’s bases, and to local and more distant locations, where care packages are being delivered.
