This is a specialist service for adults with a severe and enduring mental illness and possible co-occurring issues. The team covers the Borough of Bridgend.
The aim of the Home Treatment team is to support people to live in their chosen environment by preventing avoidable hospital admission and to support discharge from hospital.
Adhering to a strength-based model of practice, your role will be to assess the needs of people presenting in crisis, in the community and/or in hospital, and support these individuals and their carers to improve and maintain independence at home or assist in an early discharge from hospital.
As a member of the team, you will share with other members the responsibility for the effective operation of the service and participate in its ongoing development.
