Further information

Stockton Older People Mental Health Service is based at Lustrum Vale, Durham Road, Stockton-on-Tees and offers the opportunity to work with adults with severe and enduring mental health problems and their carers using a person-centred approach.

The team is committed to promoting independence, choice and control and promoting Self Directed Support where people are eligible for social care services. The team works within a wider co-located team in a supportive multi-disciplinary environment.

We have an opportunity for a Senior Practitioner (preferably with AMHP status) to have the experience of a management role within the Team. You will need to have an understanding of the needs of people with mental health problems and have an enabling person-centred approach, which promotes independence and inclusion.

The key role of this post is to provide co-ordination and supervision to the Social Workers, Assistant Care Co-ordinators and administrative staff working within the Team as determined by the Team Manager. You will also be responsible for a complex caseload.

Due to the role requiring frequent travel between venues across the borough, a full driving licence and access to a motor vehicle is required for this role.
