Mental Health Support Worker | Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust
We have Band 3 Mental Health Support Worker opportunities across our mental health urgent care service in the following team:
Crisis Resolution Home Treatment - We operate on a 24 hour, 7 day a week basis providing intensive community-based support for adults with severe and complex mental health problems to prevent the need for admission to hospital. We work collaboratively with a variety of services to support service users at home.
You will carry out assigned duties, involving direct care and observation of service users under the guidance and indirect supervision of qualified staff.
You will report to the qualified staff any observations made whilst providing care to service users / productivity and leisure, providing details of mental state and risk factors.
You will work with service users on an individual and group basis as outlined in the care plan and as directed by the appropriate named lead professional.
Mersey Care is one of the largest trusts providing physical health and mental health services in the North West, serving more than 11 million people.
We offer specialist inpatient and community services that support physical and mental health and specialist inpatient mental health, learning disability, addiction and brain injury services. Mersey Care is one of only three trusts in the UK that offer high secure mental health facilities.
At the heart of all we do is our commitment to ‘perfect care’ – care that is safe, effective, positively experienced, timely, equitable and efficient. We support our staff to do the best job they can and work alongside service users, their families, and carers to design and develop future services together.
We’re currently delivering a programme of organisational and service transformation to significantly improve the quality of the services we provide and safely reduce cost as we do so.
