Form of work
SalaryCREST was established as part of the complex rehabilitation project with the aim to support repatriation from locked rehabilitation placements and a strong focus on empowering service users and carers in being actively involved their recovery journey. The Complex Rehabilitation project is part of the West Yorkshire Integrated Care System (WYICS) Programme for Mental Health and Learning Disability. Consultation with service users, carers, commissioners and Mental Health providers has highlighted the service user experience and challenges for people placed within Mental Health complex (locked) rehabilitation placements from West Yorkshire. Many people have experienced long lengths of stay in locked hospital placements, are disconnected from a community. Service users have shared very powerful experiences with us, describing a community model as not just about keeping me safe its about building a life worth living. In order to meet the aims identified as part of the consultation project CREST has been working on developing a clinical model which supports individuals on their pathway from locked rehabilitation. This psychologically informed model focusses on placing the service user and their loved ones at the heart of what we do, assessing the need and identifying interventions that are needed to support and empower individuals on their recovery journey. If working in an innovative recovery focused team is something that you like the sound of and youd like additional information then please do get in contact to find out more about the role and CREST. Our SMI pathway is operational. Our CEN pathway (previously referred to as personality disorder) launched in early 2024, and is continuing to develop. We are recruiting for both pathways. Informal enquiries and visits to the service are welcomed. Our commitment to you if successful is that you will be offered strong support structures including reflective practice and clinical supervision, be supported to develop new skills, access psychologically informed training and opportunities to be part of evaluation and development of the service. We recognise the importance of ensuring that our services are reflective of the communities we serve and champion diversity and inclusion. As part of a wider strategy to improve healthcare career opportunities for all, we would particularly welcome applicants from Black and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds. We are committed to implementing the NHS Workforce Race Equality Standards and welcome staff members from all racial backgrounds who commit to these standards. Assessment will form a key part of CRESTs role, with referrals coming from case managers across the West Yorkshire region for individuals who are within, or on occasion being considered for, out of area rehabilitation with CRESTs focus being on identifying their current needs, barriers to establishing a discharge pathway and making recommendations on interventions that would support them in their discharge pathway. You would also be required to coordinate the delivery of care within the role of duty worker, ensuring the effective prioritisation of care and resources. There will be the need for close liaison with service users, carers and loved ones, other service providers and the wider MDT to ensure high-quality care is delivered. Travel will be required across the West Yorkshire Area. There will also be some travel to out of area hospitals outside of the West Yorkshire Footprint as part of assessment and engagement. Therefore being a car driver and access to a car is essential.
