Job description

Job overview

Are you a Mental Health Nurse eager to make a profound impact in the lives of adults facing mental health crises in Oxfordshire?

We are currently seeking a Senior Crisis Clinician on a full-time basis to join a growing service!

We’re embarking on an ambitious expansion of our Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment service in Oxfordshire. Our mission is clear: to improve and provide least restrictive mental health support to our communities and service users. We’re committed to providing comprehensive, recovery-focused assessment and treatment to individuals transitioning out of inpatient services. We’re on a bold mission to rewrite the rules and redefine support. Our commitment is crystal clear: to offer holistic, recovery-focused care to individuals in their transition from inpatient services.

We will offer opportunities for professional development and opportunities to influence and contribute to service development.

You will be provided with regular supervision, appraisal and support. The work involves shifts across 24 hours and a variety of shift patterns and working arrangements are available including long days – we welcome flexible working requests.

The service is currently based in Oxford City, but will expand to cover the whole county and develop to include crisis response and inpatient gatekeeping.

Main duties of the job

The successful candidates will have excellent clinical assessment and risk management skills and be able to work flexibly and dynamically in challenging and changing circumstances.

Crisis Clinicians will:

• Deliver recovery-focused psycho-social crisis intervention to service users and their families.
• Coordinate plans of care with other Oxford Health teams and other agencies ensuring transitions between services are safe and seamless.

Oxford Health works in partnership with 5 third sector providers as part of the Oxford Mental Health Partnership (OMHP), and the new crisis service will be working closely with partners, in particular Oxfordshire Mind and the Safe Haven services in order to ensure diversity and choice of service for people experiencing a mental health crisis.

Crisis Clinicians must have the skills and aptitude to work creatively and proactively with our third sector partners.

Working for our organisation

Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust provides physical, mental health and social care for people of all ages across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Swindon, Wiltshire, Bath and North East Somerset.

Our services are delivered at community bases, hospitals, clinics and people’s homes, delivering care as close to home as possible.

Our vision is that no matter who you are or where you are, you will tell us that you receive:“Outstanding care delivered by an outstanding team”

Our values are:“Caring, safe and excellent”

At Oxford Health we offer a wide range of benefits designed to support your career and wellbeing. These include:

• Excellent opportunities for career progression
• Access to tailored individual and Trust wide learning and development
• 27 days annual leave, plus bank holidays, rising to 33 days with continuous service
• NHS Discount across a wide range of shops, restaurants and retailers
• Competitive pension scheme
• Lease car scheme
• Cycle to work scheme
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Mental Health First Aiders
• Staff accommodation (please note waiting lists may apply)
• Staff networking and support groups hosted by our Equality, Diversity & Inclusion team

Detailed job description and main responsibilities

In return, we will offer opportunities for professional development and opportunities to influence and contribute to service development. You will be provided with regular supervision, appraisal and support. The work involves shifts across 24 hours (including nights) and a variety of shift patterns and working arrangements are available including long days and long nights – we welcome flexible working requests.

Applications are welcomed from both experienced RMN’s and Preceptorship RMNS who wish to develop their skills in crisis assessment, intervention and home treatment.

Accessibility, responsiveness and excellence in customer service with the highest regard for service experience will be at the heart of the service and Crisis Clinicians will use their skills and personal qualities to make this a reality. Connectedness to lived experience will be key, and the service will employ Peer Workers with lived experience to support team culture and service delivery that promotes recovery and independence.
