ERA Team Assistant Psychologist/Facilitator
Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust View all jobs
Posted 23 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.

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.
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.

Great Yarmouth and Waveney Locality - Hosted by ECCH, on behalf of JPUH, NCC, SCC and N&S ICB
Are you an experienced system leader who thrives in fast-paced, multi-agency environments? Do you bring the operational credibility, strategic grip and collaborative mindset needed to improve flow, strengthen discharge pathways and champion a Home First approach? if so, we would love to hear from you.
About this Role - The Integrated Transfer of Care (ITOC) Lead provides visible, senior operational leadership across acute, community, social care and VCSE partners. You will lead the ITOC hub as a single integrated function, ensuring consistent processes, shared priorities and a unified approach to discharge flow and admission avoidance.
Drawing on real-time intelligence, frontline insights and strong cross-organisational relationships, you will coordinate partners to activate community pathways, prevent unnecessary admissions and support timely, safe discharge home. You will act as the consistent point of escalation for the locality - unblocking delays, resolving operational pressures and aligning decision-making across organisational boundaries.
This is an integrated post, funded by five organisations offering a unique opportunity to influence system-wide improvements whilst maintaining strong operational presence within acute and community settings.
Main duties of the job

- Provide visible, senior operational leadership for discharge flow and community coordination across all partners

- Coordinate cross-system responses to operational pressures, including during critical incidents
- Use data, dashboards and intelligence to identify trends, variations and bottlenecks, driving improvements
- Lead targeted transformation to strengthen Home First pathways and reduce delays
- Support workforce leadership, culture and well-being across the integrated hub
- Ensure compliance with national discharge guidance and contribute to system-wide planning and assurance
Why this role matters - this is a pivotal leadership role at the heart of system flow. You will shape how partners work together, influence culture and practice across organisations, and directly improve the experience of people, families and carers.
If you are motivated by collaborative working, operational excellence and meaningful system impact, this role offers a rare opportunity to make a difference.
The post holder will be required to work across sites to ensure a operational presence between the acute and community.

You will offer direct clinical work (crisis assessment and individual interventions via intensive support) with children under 18 years that have presented in crisis, alongside their families and carers where appropriate.
Working as part of a multidisciplinary team, you will model high standards of clinical practice, undertake complex mental state and risk assessments, and regularly lead on clinical decision-making. You will provide specialist clinical advice, consultation, and formulation to colleagues across the CYP pathway, (including CAMHS and Youth teams), to promote safe and effective crisis management.
With oversight from the Senior Nurse, you will take a key role in service development and quality improvement, supporting governance, supervision, training, and implementation of key clinical frameworks. You will act as a role model for compassionate and recovery-focused care, promoting least-restrictive practice and instilling a culture of continuous learning, safety, and responsiveness.
About us
The CAIST team has recently been recognised through our Quality and Safety Review Process as being a responsive and collaborative service that has a positive, inclusive culture, with shared vision and objectives. Feedback from young people and families, identified CAIST as an accessible and flexible service that prioritises service user collaboration and shared decision making.
It is important to us that all staff share our values and core beliefs, and those of the NHS Constitution. We promote an environment of mutual respect, compassion, integrity and collaborative working.

Why work for us? We have challenges as a Trust, but we have ambitious aspirations, are pushing ahead with exciting transformation work and we need dedicated individuals to support us on our journey.

The team also supports mutual out of hours cover for annual, study and professional leave.
About us
This position provides an excellent opportunity for a suitably qualified specialist to actively contribute to a modern Community Paediatric Service, along with Paediatric and Neonatal services within this highly regarded Trust. We have a wide range of acute and community services, and the post will afford high levels of professional visibility.
The hospital is situated in Gorleston, 200 metres from the beach and picturesque countryside, on the Norfolk/Suffolk border close to the towns of Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft and within commuting distance from several small villages with affordable housing and local amenities. Residents enjoy a good quality of life with easy access to the Norfolk Broads and unspoilt coastline with opportunities for wildlife, walking, cycling and sailing.
