Enhanced DBS: Includes the above, plus any additional information held by local police thats considered relevant to the role.

Enhanced with Barred Lists: Includes all of the above, plus checks against the childrens and/or adults barred lists.

At Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT), roles that require a DBS check are subject to a cost recovery policy.

Job description

Job responsibilities

If you are a registered mental health professional with experience in assessing and supporting individuals of any age, either children and young people, working age or older adults and would like to be part of a growing and developing service we would like to hear from you. You will be able to undertake comprehensive mental health assessments and risk assessments, develop effective risk management plans, provide brief interventions and appropriately signpost and make onward referrals for individuals who come through the range of services within the general hospital. The role is extremely varied and provides a unique opportunity to develop skills across different service areas. The focus of the team is supporting people to receive high quality care in a holistic and person centered way. There is an emphasis on working with non-mental health colleagues within the hospital, sharing knowledge and skills and advocating for the mental health and wellbeing of service users.

As part of this dynamic and progressive multidisciplinary team you will also be involved in effective interfacing between teams, other mental health services and agencies such as the Police, NWAS and the local authority. This is a fantastic opportunity to be involved in the development of an expanding service offer supported by additional investment.

As part of the Liaison Mental Health service you can expect professional support and development in this exciting and challenging area of work. You will be joining a friendly and supportive team at Tameside General Hospital and will receive regular management and clinical supervision and have opportunities to engage in CPD. As a valued member of the liaison team you will be fully involved in all service developments and given opportunities to support quality improvement.

The service runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so posts will be worked on a shift basis with 24 hour working required including bank holidays, weekends and some rotational night duties.

Job summary

BHFT is developing a specialist multidisciplinary Assertive Outreach (AO) service, aligned with Community Mental Health Services, to provide safe, compassionate and flexible support for people with severe and enduring mental health needs who may struggle to engage with services.

The service will initially operate from two hubs in Reading and Slough, and we are recruiting two Band 6 nurses to support its rollout.

This role is based within the Reading team and is one of several new specialist posts. The successful candidate will also work across the Trust to help develop a consistent AO approach and promote best practice.

Our approach is centred on:

• Working alongside individuals, families, carers and wider support networks to overcome barriers such as trauma, mistrust, communication needs, co-existing conditions and social challenges.
• Delivering proactive, intensive, holistic and flexible care, meeting people where they are and tailoring support to their needs.
• Promoting fair access to mental health care, particularly for marginalised and underserved communities, while addressing health inequalities.

To achieve this, we work with smaller caseloads than traditional Community Mental Health Services, enabling more intensive support. The post holder will be part of the Reading Assertive Outreach Team and work within the service's operational hours. Care will be delivered primarily in community settings, rather than expecting service users to routinely attend health facilities.

• Working within a shared caseload, the post holder will build and maintain therapeutic relationships with service users, families and carers, using assertive, flexible and person-centred approaches to improve engagement, reduce relapse and crisis, and promote recovery and independence.
• The role involves completing comprehensive assessments, developing and reviewing personalised care plans, and delivering evidence-based interventions tailored to individual needs.
• As a core member of the Assertive Outreach multidisciplinary team, the post holder will contribute specialist mental health nursing expertise to formulation, care planning and decision-making. They will work collaboratively with colleagues and partner agencies, applying evidence-based practice and reflective working to support stability, recovery and improved quality of life for service users.
