It has a population of 135,000. It is a vast area, but served by a network of friendly, vibrant towns, villages and rural communities. A truly great county in which to live and work, this county is often featured as being amongst the best places to live in the UK.

They aim to provide the right care for their patients, carers, colleagues and communities. The NHS Trust provides mental health services to all age ranges and supports people with a range of mental health problems whether they are mild, moderate or severe. In 2019, the NHS Trust received more than £13 million of funding to help transform adult mental health services. This funding means we can work more closely with GPs and address patients’ mental health problems much earlier.

The Service is divided into four Teams, and there is also a Central County Wide Memory Assessment service (which undertakes much of the MAS work) and also a County Wide Intensive Dementia Support Service IDSS (which acts as a Crisis/Home Treatment Team for those with Dementia). The community mental health teams and memory services provide psychiatric community care to patients over the age of 65. There is also a much smaller group of patients under 65 years of age, with primary dementias who are also cared for by the older adults’ community mental health team.

The multi disciplinary team includes medical, nursing, Psychology, OT with clinical support workers and admin support staff. The overall team provides CMHT, MAS and Specialised Day Hospital services. The two services area covers GP practices in four towns and equates to approximately 11,000 patients over the age of 65 (CCG figures December 2017). The community mental health teams are part of wider integrated teams. Each team is co located with staff from district nursing and the integrated rehabilitation team (community OT and Physiotherapists).

The post holder will hold regular clinics, as well as undertaking domiciliary visits when required. The post holder will provide assessment, diagnosis and treatment of mental health needs of community patients in their community area, and work closely with the community teams to provide effective multidisciplinary collaborative care: this will include availability for consultation, regularly attending team meetings and providing case discussion and advice at the request of team members and / or team managers.
