An exciting opportunity has arisen to help develop and shape a new model of care for that breaks down current barriers to care, is non-restrictive, co-produced, culturally sensitive and accessible. The service currently runs 24hrs a day, 7 days a week for people residing in the catchment area offering open access to a range of psycho-social- medical Interventions at every stage of their wellness journey, this includes short term Hospitality stays for those in crisis, and community based offers that are embedded in the neighbourhood. We will work in partnership with Look Ahead Housing Association, the Tower hamlets VCSE Alliance, experts by experience, in a new fully integrated community mental health centre based in Bethnal Green and serving PCN1.

We are one of six pilot sites in England and intend to reshape care and return to the values that made us health care professionals in the first place.

We are looking for a person (Social Worker/AMHP) who is keen on being part of a new way of working. Integral to the role and ethos of the service is a commitment to co-productivity and the eradication of a “them-and us” culture, a removal of barriers that hinder good care, ensure compassion, empathy and relationship building as the primary focus.

If you are interested in joining a dynamic team, are action orientated, professionally curious and comfortable with ambiguity, and want to really make a difference – then this is for you!

Please contact Mark Akyea Addo on 0208 475 8200 for any queries.
