Detailed job description and main responsibilities The post holder will work with Dr Kamal as part of the CMHT at Cromwell House and would be managerially responsible to him. The post is community based with most work being undertaken at Cromwell House. This will include new patients, follow up appointments, attending the weekly meeting with the CMHT, taking part in CPA meetings and conducting home visits. There will be at least 2 new patient assessments per week and 10-15 follow up patients (which will include CPA reviews) spread over two clinic sessions and a third flexible clinical session, which allows for the possibility of emergency work - this amounts to no more than 1PA per month of MHA work and associated clinical admin.
The post holder would be expected to see emergency assessments following a duty assessment (by care co-ordinator rota) and would also be expected to engage in Section 12 work for patients allocated to their teams. The CMHT has the acute assessment role of a crisis team as per the local Acute Care Pathway (ACP) which means that all referrals to secondary services are triaged in community teams and assessed before referral on. The post-holder would provide advice and support to other members of the team, primarily for their own case-load but also for new patient queries and general advice.
