Please see the attached job description file for a full list of duties and responsibilities.



We are AWP (Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust) : a diverse organisation with over 5,000 dedicated staff providing inpatient and community-based mental health care.



We provide services from a range of locations to approximately 1.8 million people living in Bath and North East Somerset (BANES), Bristol, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Swindon, across the county of Wiltshire, and in parts of Dorset.



Our outstanding people promote mental health and wellbeing. The expertise and resources within AWP are dedicated to a person-centred approach--for those who use our services and for all employees. We recognise that happy and fulfilled employees give better care.



At AWP, we actively encourage applicants from all backgrounds. We are particularly keen to encourage applications from people from Black, Asian, and minority ethnic backgrounds, those with disabilities, and from the LGBTQ+ community. We want people to bring their unique blend of experiences, backgrounds, perspectives, and knowledge to AWP, as diversity makes us stronger.



Provide a mental health service to an allocated caseload of service users, and deliver a set of defined interventions within that caseload. You will have responsibility for the assessment of needs, the planning and implementation of treatment and care to meet those needs--as agreed with the multidisciplinary team and/or supervisor. This includes key working (with supervision) service users and contributing to the evaluation of care across a variety of settings where mental health or specialist treatment is available.



Liaise, as appropriate, with other members of the multidisciplinary team and other agencies involved in the care of individual service users.



Participate in integrated governance processes, particularly as they relate to your own practice. Contribute to the monitoring of service provision, performance, and standards of care through data collection and audit processes.



This role is focused on providing appropriate, effective interventions and treatments to people with severe and enduring mental health needs, and their carers (including friends, relatives, and supporters) in the community. You will enable and assist them to meet daily health, social care, and well-being needs in line with personal recovery goals, and facilitate engagement with mainstream services.
