This will also include where a service user is open to the team but the key worker or other member of staff directly involved in their care is not available. The Duty Worker will be integral to continuing building links with other services such as GPs, PCNs, Criminal Justice and Primary Care colleagues to ensure high quality and effective patient journey. The Neighbourhoods are guided by collective leadership, providing evidence-based psychological and medical interventions to patients with mental health difficulties. The patients journey is guided by psychological formulation of his or her presenting needs and difficulties, which subsequently inform the development of a plan of care for the patient. We draw from evidence-based interventions to provide high quality and effective interventions. The Duty Worker will be able to use these to guide their interactions and interventions. The successful applicant will be motivated to provide high quality care to our patients.
