      Job summary

      Are you a registered professional inspired to help people who need intensive short -- term help at home, either as an alternative to hospitalisation, or in the transition phase when returning home from hospital? If so, we would be delighted to hear from you as these are some of the qualities we want you to bring to the CRHTT in Mid and North Hampshire. Are you one of the people who can continue to make this vision a reality?

      The Team maintains our focus on providing quality Home Treatment both during supported discharge and as an alternative to Hospital admission.

      You would be joining a Trust that has a Philosophy of Recovery based practise, and you will have the opportunity to contribute to the working within an established CRHT Team.

      Our aim is to provide the kind of Service that we would expect for ourselves, or for someone that we love and care for. A service that promotes self-direction, independence, and choice, that respects the individual, and provides the treatment and help that is needed as a priority.

      Main duties of the job

      As a Band 6 mental health practitioner you will be taking a lead role in the team, supervising, and supporting other team members, and will be expected to have the skills and knowledge that will facilitate effective care being delivered to service users in their own homes.

      Exciting opportunities for professional/personal development and career progression are also on offer through our Academy of Clinical Excellence (ACE) available to all of our registered practitioners.

Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
