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.

• 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.

Do you enjoy working flexibly and creatively with people who have complex and diverse needs? Do you have a passion for equality, diversity and inclusion? We are delighted to advertise two Psychologist/Psychotherapist posts, working with people in the gaps between NHS Talking Therapies (formerly IAPT) and community mental health services. We have a 1.0 wte post based in the West of Leeds and a 0.6 wte post based in the East.

These roles are 'early implementer' roles that will play a key part in piloting and evaluating this evolving service.

In addition to direct clinical work, the role will involve supporting the work of primary care mental health workers through supervision, consultation, and training. It will also involve collaborating with other stakeholders and third sector providers to develop effective pathways and networks.
