Job description Job responsibilities
The North CMHT covers the locality of North Warwickshire & Rugby. We have two bases, one in Nuneaton and the other in Rugby and although you would be based in a particular location for expenses purposes, you are part of one large team, and you will get the opportunity to work across both localities with different colleagues.
This would be an ideal opportunity for a clinician who would be interested in developing their skills of managing a caseload and providing clinical interventions in an established and forward-thinking team.
Working for our Team is demanding and hard work but incredibly rewarding. It offers the opportunity to develop some excellent specialist skills and take part in imaginative and effective interventions. The nature of the team means that you bring your knowledge, experience, enthusiasm, and empathy and are exposed to the knowledge and skills of other colleagues within the team, which promotes growth and development within your own practice at an accelerated rate. We are a team that recognises the work we do can be difficult at times and we have a strong supportive approach- both in professional matters and passing on good practice, learning and sharing risk but also when it impacts on us personally. We recognise the value in Supervision, and this is why we ensure we offer a range, including CBT supervision, Peer Supervision, Caseload Supervision & Development Supervision. They are well spaced, and this is something the team feel adds to the varying levels of support and shared responsibility.
