Job summary

This is a new post created as part of Oxleas Trust redesign of the community psychosis pathway.

These 2 junior medical posts will be shared with the Greenwich EIP team. The team will have admin support.

The team will overall have line managerial support from a Trust-wide band 8 post and within each Borough there will be senior pathway lead roles.Key relationships within the team will be with our Borough based EIP teams and the clinical and operational leads in the new Community Psychosis Teams. The team will need to work collaboratively with our existing Hubs and also colleagues within our crisis pathway when admission, Home Treatment or MHA assessment are required.

About us

At Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust, we offer a wide range of NHS healthcare services to people living in South-East London and to people in prison across England.
