The role will include:

• Undertaking holistic mental health assessments, including risk, strengths, functioning, physical health and social circumstances.

• Developing collaborative formulations, care plans and safety plans.

• Providing brief, evidence-informed interventions and agreed follow-up.

• Holding and reviewing an appropriate caseload in line with the needs of the service.
