This is an exciting time to join our service as we embrace innovative ways of working in line with the Community Mental Health Framework. If you are motivated by positive change and want to be part of a progressive and supportive team, we would love to hear from you. Willow Team, part of the City and North East Oxfordshire AMHT, offers a fantastic opportunity to join a well-established service delivering care to a diverse and vibrant population across Oxford. Our service includes three locality-based teams aligned with GP practices. You will join a dynamic multi-disciplinary team, working alongside a range of clinical professionals and closely with third sector partners to provide high-quality, holistic, person-centred care. We are proud of our experienced leadership team, who place development at the heart of the service. You will benefit from regular supervision, access to professional forums, and ongoing training opportunities to support your career progression and enhance your skills. This is a full-time role (37.5 hours, Monday–Friday, 09:00–17:00). Due to the nature of the role, the ability to travel independently across Trust sites is essential. Join us and play a key role in shaping the future of community mental health care. ### Main duties of the job The role will involve being the allocated key worker (formerly known as Care Coordinator) for a caseload of patients with severe and enduring mental illness.  In these instances, you will be playing an integral role as part of a multi-disciplinary team in that person's recovery, which would include the assessment, collaborative care planning and review of the person's needs. You will also be expected to undertake bio-psycho-social assessments for patients referred to the team, and this may include offering brief evidence based interventions for up to eight weeks, ensuring to work in partnership with service users and their families/carers to ensure the development of a treatment plan to facilitate their safety, promote their well-being and support their independence and inclusion in the community. This may include working closely with partner agencies. You will also be expected to complete duty, which includes triaging new referrals (we receive referrals from the Keystone Hubs, GPs, EDPS etc) and identifying if the patient requires an assessment within the AMHT or signposting to other services. You will be expected to be able to complete risks assessments and appropriately escalate any concerns about risk or safeguarding. ### Detailed job description and main responsibilities We hope that the advert has given you a clear understanding of the skills we are seeking and the opportunity at hand. You will need to use the “supporting statement” element of your application form to demonstrate your suitability for this role and you should refer to the job description, person specification and the guidance notes attached to this role to help you tailor your application. The essential and desirable criteria will be used to shortlist for interview, and you should ensure that you refer to these within your application to increase your chances of being selected for interview. ## Job Details Are you a passionate and qualified Psychiatric Nurse ready to make a real difference in mental health care?
