Our aim is to provide flexible, trauma-informed, and person-centred support.
MCN is defined as ‘people who experience three or more of: homelessness or housing issues, current or historical offending, substance misuse, domestic abuse, and mental ill health’.We are looking for innovative thinkers and those who truly believe in and practise a trauma-informed approach.
Main duties of the job

The role consists of outreach and therapeutic interventions to individuals living with MCN who struggle to access secondary mental health services and promote partnership working through a ‘Team Around Me’ (TAM) Model.
The postholders will support ongoing work to achieve systems change by identifying blocks and barriers in the system, recognising best practice, and working flexibly to overcome the challenges facing people with MCN. The post holders will have specific responsibilities for a range of delegated clinical duties in a community mental health setting.
The post holders will contribute to the growth and maintenance of key functions of the clinical area by carrying out assigned tasks, involving direct and indirect care to individuals under minimal supervision and as directed by qualified staff and/or the Team Leader. Following personal development planning and targeted training, the competent practitioner will be in a position to work more autonomously in supporting clients.
As a result, you will have developed a broad underpinning knowledge base at an intermediate level and can evaluate information and communicate with a range of professionals
