Community Mental Health Practitioner- Personality Disorder Pathway
Band 6
Job overview
Would you like to join a growing team and be part of transforming services for those who experience complex emotional needs/ personality difficulties (also referred to as 'Personality Disorder?')
As part of the extra investment that is coming into Mental Health Services as part of the NHS Long Term Plan, we are excited to be able to expand and transform what we offer to this service user group and their families.
We are looking to recruit 2 full time Band 6 Mental Health Practitioners working as part of the Personality Disorder Hub alongside our already growing team, working within the LMHT across Mid Notts. There will be an expectation that you will be able to work and travel across the whole of Mid Notts, however you will be based at a named LMHT for the majority of your time and required to have a visible presence . You will provide SCM to the LMHT caseload as well as undertaking short pieces of assessment and formulation work whilst providing training, consultation and supervision to LMHT colleagues. Whilst you will be embedded within the LMHTs , your line management and supervision will come from the PD Pathway Team Hub. There may be opportunities for other forms of treatment/therapy for clients with Personality Disorder depending upon funding.
If you have qualifications and/or experience of delivering DBT or CBT for personality disorder we would welcome your application and would look to support you to utilise these skills within the pathway.
Main duties of the job
You will be working as a band 6 Mental Health Practitioner delivering SCM (Structured Clinical Management) to clients on an individual and group basis (training will be provided as required). You will be expected to undertake assessments and formulation work for clients who meet the criteria for the Personality Disorder Pathway within the LMHT caseload.
You will be expected to support the wider LMHT in working with and managing clients with complex emotional needs. This will include providing some elements of training consultation and supervision to the LMHT as well as being involved in MDT's and case discussions.
