Do you want to support people with mental health issues? Are you calm, non-judgemental and able to work effectively with people experiencing distress?

Can you demonstrate our values of Hope, Courage, Together and Responsive and want to be part of our mission to create opportunities for individuals to make choices, find their own solutions, build resilience and manage their whole life and wellbeing?

If the answer to all of these is yes, we want to hear from you.

Job title: Hospital Mental Health Outreach Worker – Serious Violence (Bounce Back)
Reference Number:
209
Reports to: Bounce Back Team Leader
Contract: Permanent
Hours: 37.5 hours per week (Full Time, Monday – Friday)
Salary: £25,000 - £26,00 per annum depending on skills and experience inclusive of Outer London Weighting (OLW) per annum
Based: Letchworth Wellbeing Centre + Lister Hospital Outreach

We have a vacancy for a Hospital Mental Health Outreach Worker to join our team. This is a full-time position.

About the Project

Herts Mind Network (HMN) has formed a partnership with Hertfordshire Partnership Foundation Trust (HPFT) to deliver a one-to-one outreach service for people who are in hospitals across Hertfordshire.

We have two existing arms of the project – one based at Kingfisher Court and Albany Lodge facilitating discharge to the community from inpatient settings, and the other based at Watford General Hospital & Lister Hospital supporting those who have attended A&E in mental health crisis and have a dual diagnosis.

This is a new arm of the project focused on serious violence, with one worker based at Watford General Hospital and one worker based at Lister Hospital working in A&E departments and wards facilitating discharge for people aged 16 - 25 who have been admitted to hospital due to being a victim of serious violence.

About the Role:

The aims of the Bounce Back service are: to provide up to 16 sessions of emotional and practical support, advice and information to patients. We will visit patients on the ward and continue the sessions in the local community and in patients homes once discharged. We will facilitate a smooth and timely hospital discharge and focus on re-integration back into the local community.

The Bounce Back Worker will work with the HMN Community Outreach Teams and the hospital staff to ensure patients are offered advice, information, and holistic support. The Bounce Back worker will use a recovery orientated approach working with patients on the ward, and in the local community, including in people’s homes.

The recovery approach includes empathy, warmth, acceptance, authenticity, compassion and humanity.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide practical and emotional support to encourage patients to develop their independence within their local community.
  • Facilitate a smooth discharge from hospital back to the community.
  • Have a solid understanding on the impact of serious violence on an individual’s mental health.
  • Have a working knowledge on the areas of serious violence including knife crime, cuckooing and county lines.
  • Monitor outcomes and evaluate the service.
  • Ensure that the safety and wellbeing of patients using the service is monitored and reviewed regularly.
  • Embed a person centred and recovery orientated approach in all aspects of the roles and responsibilities.

We offer:

  • Annual leave entitlement of 25 days per year pro rata, rising in increments to a max. of 29 days pro rata after 5 years employment (plus 8 days Bank Holidays)
  • An additional day of leave each year for your birthday following completion of probation period.
  • Ongoing training relevant to your role.
  • An Employee Assistance Programme.
  • Health cover (after 6 months employment) – compensation payment for Optical, Dental, Chiropody and Therapy Treatments.

Being able to drive and having access to your own vehicle is essential for this role.

Closing date: Closing date for receipt of applications is Monday 3rd June at 5pm.
Interview date: Interviews will be held on a rolling basis at the Letchworth Wellbeing Centre.
