Job Description
JustOT is looking to hire a HCPC registered Band 7 Locum Occupational Therapists to work for one of our well respected clients based in Middlesex.
Start date: ASAP
End date: 3 months
Hours: 0.5 WTE | Part-Time
JOB SUMMARY:
Haringey Complex Emotional Needs (CEN) serves a client group with severe and complex,
non-psychotic illness. Presenting issues range from a single diagnosis such as depression requiring
a single psychological therapy intervention, through to those requiring intensive treatment packages
and/or with co-morbid difficulties requiring multi-disciplinary packages of care.
The Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) treatment pathway provides a phased
treatment programme for service users presenting with complex and comorbid PTSD symptoms.
Treatment modules include; values based behavioural activation, group psycho-education work and
trauma focused therapies including Narrative Exposure Therapy, EMDR and Trauma Focused CBT.
The service users worked with may have experienced extreme and on-going trauma, are often
refugees or have a history of childhood neglect and/or abuse.
The complex-PTSD treatment Pathway is a small, supportive and contained team of staff, including Psychologists, Psychiatrists, an Associate Mental Health Worker and an Assistant Psychologist. We believe in the importance of multidisciplinary working that is collaborative, respectful, and integrative, with a particular focus on therapeutic interventions.
This is an exciting opportunity for a Mental Health Practitioner to join a supportive, reflective and creative Multidisciplinary Team that works with people with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (cPTSD).
The primary focus of this role is split between being a specialist Mental Health Practitioner, co-facilitating treatment groups, conducting initial assessment, and holding the responsibilities of care coordination for some patients within the pathway. The post holder will be allocated a caseload of service-users with complex PTSD, and work as part of a close-knit Multidisciplinary Team. The MDT offers a variety of interventions, such as therapy groups and individual interventions, and we work together as a team to think about what service-users would most benefit from.
You may hold some service-users under the Care Programme Approach (CPA), although the majority of service-users will not be on CPA. Being a Care Coordinator will involve duties such as developing treatment/care plans, joint working, developing risk assessments, completing KPIs, responding to crisis's from service-users under the care of the team and providing support for carers and family members.
To assist in the effective delivery of the team's core functions and contribute to the development of protocols, procedures and systems as required.
To work cohesively with MDT colleagues and colleagues across the Trust to provide a responsive and innovative service, delivering a high-quality mental health service to the people under the care of the team. Ensure service users are involved with all aspects of planning and delivery of their own care plans and in the delivery of the service.
To supervise and support junior staff members and students as required.
