This role is essential to maintaining continuity of care and supporting the team in providing care to people experiencing severe mental illness and/or organic mental illness. Consideration will also be given to applicants seeking part-time hours.
The service is a specialist team providing assessment, treatment and support for individuals suffering from organic and functional mental health illness. Experience of working with older adults with organic / functional mental illness in an inpatient or community setting would be an advantage.

You will carry a defined caseload and manage this with the support of the team leader and the wider team.
There will be opportunities for you to develop your own clinical assessment skills, whilst risk assessment and management will remain at the forefront of everything you do. Being a learning organisation, we are happy to support you in advancing your own skill set using additional learning opportunities.

The primary role responsibility is to act as dedicated Care Coordinator for a caseload of patients with whom you would provide person centred, holistic care to assist in aiding their wellbeing and recovery.

Employment in this post requires an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, which the Trust will cover the cost of.

ERA Team Assistant Psychologist/Facilitator
Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust View all jobs
Posted 29 day(s) ago
Reference: 2330237
Job summary
We have an exciting opportunity to try out working with the ERA-ROCS (Enhanced Risk Assessment - Risk to Others Service) as part of cover for one of our very good facilitators/assistant psychologists. We will welcome secondment applications (please get approval from your current line manager in advance) or applicants looking for a Fixed Term Contract.
The purpose of this post is to support colleagues working within Adult Mental Health Services to develop their understanding and skills in identifying, assessing, and managing risk to others posed by some service users, who may not reach the threshold for Forensic Services, so that our colleagues can ensure that our service users can better engage with their treatment, remain in services, and improve their overall risk against others. This will involve supporting staff by facilitating Enhanced Risk Assessment (ERAs) meetings, Risk Management Plan meetings, and Consultations; attending AMH team meetings to discuss the ERA process and support decision-making regarding risk; contributing to training for AMH staff about assessing and working with risk; and as part of this process formulating risk and developing management plans with staff.We do not work directly with service users within ERA; instead, our focus is on helping our colleagues (both within HPFT and from external agencies) to develop robust formulations and management plans that positively impact upon our service users and the community.
Main duties of the job
The primary duty of this post is to ensure that all colleagues within HPFT have access to appropriate guidance and support to work with service users who pose a potential risk to others. The way that we do this includes several different key areas:1. You will increase the awareness of the team's work to teams within HPFT2. You will conduct Consultations with colleagues who refer service user cases to us, help facilitate Risk Management Plan Meetings with colleagues to create more robust plans to handle risk, and lead or support facilitate Enhanced Risk Assessment Meetings with multiple agencies3. Write up useful and accurate Consultation Records, Risk Management Plans, and ERAs in a timely fashion, taking advice and guidance from the Clinical Lead, and ensuring that the written work is disseminated appropriately4. Help develop and lead on training programmes for our colleagues on working with risk5. Collect and maintain the data that we collect on our work, take part in audits and evaluations, and support service development plans and growth6. Be aware of and responsive to changing need within the wider service, to ensure that our work is addressing the needs of our colleagues for working with risk
About us
Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (HPFT) is an outstanding organisation with ambitions to match. We are one of just five mental health trusts to achieve an overall rating of 'Outstanding' from the Care Quality Commission, and our aim is to be the leading provider of mental health and specialist learning disability services in the country.

The care we provide makes a fantastic difference to the lives of our service users, their families and carers - everything is underpinned by choice, independence and equality, with our Trust values embedded throughout:
Our Trust values are:
Welcoming. Kind. Positive. Respectful. Professional.
These values are at the core of who we are, everything we do, and how we do it!

Job description
Job responsibilities
Whilst we welcome all applications from all suitable candidates, unfortunately, we will not be offering sponsorship for this role.
This post will be located within the LD & Forensic Business unit of the Trust although the key relationships will be with colleagues from the Adult Mental Health Services, i.e. Crisis Teams, Inpatient services, PMHTR, PATH team.
Much of the work is done remotely, with regular weekly supervision and meetings in-person and virtually to support team and service development. Supervision and line management for the post will come from the Clinical Lead for the ERA Team, a principal clinical psychologist.
Duties and Responsibilities:
This post will work closely with the other two assistant psychologists in the team. Each of the assistant psychologists will conduct brief Consultations with colleagues who have made a referral to our team, which allows us to get information about why a service user has been referred, understand what is happening within that risk profile, and provide recommendations for management or additional risk assessments.Where the initial Consultation is not sufficient to create a robust management plan, recommendations may be made to complete a Risk Management Plan meeting (with the support of a second AP where needed) wherein additional colleagues may be invited to provide more information and context for the service user's care and management. In these instances, the AP will take the lead in facilitating the meeting and support the attendees to create an appropriate risk management plan. Where there is more historical information available or a deeper assessment is needed, the Consultation may lead to a full Enhanced Risk Assessment report. In these instances, the AP will lead (with the support of a second AP) a meeting of all relevant colleagues associated with a service user's care. This will will lead to an assessment report which provides a holistic assessment of the risk and understanding of the service user's formulation.
All Consultation Records, Risk Management Plans, and Enhanced Risk Assessment Reports are reviewed and approved by the Clinical Lead before being finalised.
ERA APs will also help to develop and provide training sessions to teams based around the understanding and management of risk; these sessions will include - but are not limited to - training around the management of risk; discussion of risk with the service user; and developing risk formulations and management plans.
Additionally, ERA APs will take part in "Meet & Greet" sessions, wherein they will help introduce the ERA team and process across the wider network. These include both PowerPoint presentations and more casual, informed conversations.We care deeply about being both effective and accessible to our colleagues; in line with this, we collect a lot of information about how we are functioning and the outcomes of our recommendations. Therefore, all APs should be interested in and prepared to take part in service evaluations and further research projects.You will have individual supervision with the Clinical Lead fortnightly, supplemented with group supervision on alternating weeks. We have weekly caseload meetings to discuss what is happening within the team and our work, as well as monthly business meetings which focus on wider service issues and monthly journal discussion meetings with the PMHTR Team.
