You will work with your clients to carry out individual support and needs planning and create SMART goals to maximise the potential for their recovery.

You will be greeting new clients, risk assessing them and delivering an induction process to welcome them into our services.

You should be resilient, compassionate, approachable and proactive in your approach to helping our clients as they recover and prepare to re-join the community. The role comprises routine daily tasks, for example performing health and safety checks and liaising with your clients to establish their welfare, but there will also be unforeseen challenges to overcome and manage. A background in social care or mental health is an advantage, but more important is a patient, caring and compassionate outlook and the ability to stay calm and think on your feet. Our values are dignity, excellence, respect, integrity and kindness, and we expect our whole team to live these values in all that they do.

Benefits: A strong culture of learning and development including accredited mental health training, real opportunities for career progression, working with and learning from multi-disciplinary teams, supervision, HSF Health Plan, life insurance, Auto-Enrolment Pension (subject to the conditions of the scheme), a generous annual leave allowance and a day off for your birthday.

Job Purpose

This role is within our crisis alternative emergency department (ED) service, which is an out of hours service providing a safe and welcoming space for people who present at A&E, feeling distressed and experiencing crisis. The service will work collaboratively with hospital Psychiatric Liaison Team (LPS) to ensure those in crisis are supported by the appropriate team. The service will operate 365 days a year from 5pm-1am across three ED’s in West London.

Staff within the service will triage, assess and provide face-to-face support to anyone who is experiencing mental health crisis. This will be person-centred and will be in various forms of de-escalation support; practical, emotional support, grounding techniques, safety planning, care/action planning etc. Staff within the service will work alongside LPS and escalate if clinical intervention is required.

• To prevent the use of A&E and EDs where alternative crisis support is appropriate
• To effectively de-escalate mental health crisis in various forms of support
• Collaborative working with LPS and A&E stakeholders to promote preventative measures around early intervention; to identify any unmet social needs that are exacerbating wellbeing and prevent escalation
• Proactively work, and affect change with, a rolling cohort of people, using a truly personalised approach
• Act as a conduit to negotiate and de-escalate issues before a crisis occurs; a situation which has historically led to a destabilisation of their condition and resulting in an attendance or admission
• Empower service users to self-manage, to enable discharge from the project and encourage (where appropriate) unplanned to planned clinical activity
• Form robust networks of services around individual service users to ensure they can access the care and support they need, when they need it, including our community crisis alternative service – Safe Space
• Improve communication and partnership working between those involved in peoples’ care 24/7
• Personalise a plan of support, focusing on strengths and goals, whilst also developing personal crisis plans with the service user
• Advocate for the individual in the creation of any statutory service crisis plans that may be developed, ensuring they are person cantered and reflect the person’s needs
• De-escalate any negative or harmful patterns of behaviour as early as possible to reduce the likelihood of admission/readmission
• Manage relapse
• To reduce the use of police, ambulance and statutory mental health services whilst experiencing crisis
• To reduce the use of statutory crisis services by people experiencing mental ill health without positive outcomes for the individual
• To work hand in hand with our community Safe Space service; ensuring follow ups are arranged with our community Safe Space, creating a wrap around crisis service

The Role

The role of the clinical team manager will be to support the rest of the Safe Space ED team in delivering de-escalation interventions safely and offering senior advice. The clinical team manager will be required to work collaboratively and proactively with LPS, ED leads and the service manager to ensure Safe Space ED is effectively reducing A&E attendances and managing risk appropriately. The clinical team manager will play a key part in ensuring service user’s care is integrated between statutory services and other third sector organisations; managing high risk cases and supporting the rest of the team with this. The role will also include line management and supervision of crisis alternative practitioners within the service. At times, the clinical team manager may be required to deputise for the service manager and support the community Safe Space team.

Post is subject to a DBS check.

We are an equal opportunities employer; and are proud to employ a workforce that reflects the diverse communities we serve. We welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons from all backgrounds.

We are an organisation dedicated to progress, fairness and people. Members volunteer their time, skills and donate to empower a range of charities and support a number of associated schools across the United Kingdom. We help people to achieve their full potential despite life’s challenges. To meet our ambitions, we provide an engaged and driven workforce that ensure we continue to be City leaders. 

You are an exceptional person who will enjoy: 

• Providing a great service to our Over 57s independent living residents at our 34 flats sub-let from One Housing in Christopher Boone’s Court, Lewisham, London 

• Improving processes for the benefit of residents and driving casework to a successful conclusion 

• Contributing to shaping our strategic vision to build almshouses for young people affected by homelessness 

• Working closely with our senior team to support the board of trustees of Merchant Taylors’ Boone’s Charity. 

This is a great opportunity if you are interested in gaining transferable experience of senior management issues in a charity setting, and motivated by providing great customer service.

An existing qualification in housing is not required - sharing our values and showing the right behaviours are what matter most to us.  We’re looking for a positive, proactive person who enjoys bringing their intellect and commercial awareness to their work, connect with residents and with stakeholders at all levels from grassroots to board, and are transparent in all that they do. 

Are you looking for an opportunity to use your professional experience whilst serving in a Christian environment? This is an exciting new role in a vibrant, entrepreneurial charity which has ambitious plans. We are looking for a committed team worker who is full of initiative and financial expertise.
