You will engage service users in 'assertive stabilisation' initially which will often mean being appropriately responsive to crisis situations and tightly liaising with the wider CMHT to ensure a consistent agreed response.

You will attend MDTs, professionals meetings and case conferences as required, including in-reach to hospital.

As part of your job plan you will be required to offer supervision to staff, reflective practice and Trust wide training to support the upskilling of staff in CEN specific ways or working, particularly in addressing stigma.

You will be integral to the continued development of this new Pathway. This will involve being attuned to the difficulties on the ground, dealing with any complaints, developing and reporting evaluation results, reporting back and being fully involved in growth of the Pathway, in terms of it's clinical and strategic focus.
