CREST (community rehabilitation and enhanced support team) are expanding. We are looking for mental health practitioners for our developing Complex Emotional Needs (CEN) pathway to support individuals transitioning out of Level 2 in to the community. The role will involve coordinating the care of individuals in line with changes in national direction of the Care Programme Approach and offering evidence-based, trauma informed interventions to address core rehabilitation needs as well as manage risk within a community setting.

The CREST approach focuses on providing different ways of working with individuals who have spent long periods of time in hospital, to improve outcomes for this service user group. We strive to think creatively, and we are committed to continuous improvement, adapting to the needs of the population. 

** Due to a genuine occupational need we are currently only able to accept MALE applicants for this role** 

Due to the nature of the service users we support, we need to ensure sufficient gender balance of our mental health practitioners, to meet service user preferences, due to factors such as trauma, and manage clinical risk appropriately. Our CEN pathway currently has no male mental health practitioners, meaning that we are not able to meet these needs.

**We have vacancies for all gender applicants, which can be found on NHS jobs**

CREST-CEN is a new and developing pathway, working with service users who are experiencing complex emotional needs or interpersonal difficulties, which previously many have been referred to as a personality disorder pathway. 

CREST support individuals within complex rehabilitation to address barriers to discharge, assess their rehabilitation needs and identify how these could be successfully supported in a least restrictive environment. The varied needs of the service users within CREST’s caseload and their long history of support within inpatient environments mean that CREST need to take an innovative approach to support to ensure successful outcomes.

The post holder will work closely alongside the existing and developing MDT within the service. In addition to being part of a supportive, specialist team, there is also a strong focus on co-production and multi-agency working, with many of the caseload being supported by private hospital providers, supported living and a range of statutory and non-statutory organisations.

If successful, you will be responsible for a small caseload in line with the care programme approach of service users supported by the wider multi-disciplinary team and on a day-to-day basis work within the framework of the team approach.  You must have good working knowledge of the principles of recovery and practice clinically in a way that promotes therapeutic optimism and hope with service users who present with Complex Emotional Needs.
