Pennine Care is committed to improving services for people with Complex Emotional and Relational Needs (CERN) in line with the GM model for treatment of CERN and the National Community Mental Health Framework.
You will work within the Structured Clinical Management (SCM) team, which is part of the Complex Emotional and Relational Needs (CERN) Pathway. In the role of Structured Clinical Management Link Worker you will be providing senior presence and expertise. Your role will be to work with people with CERN who are in the SCM service, and are not yet ready to engage with the SCM programme or therapy, presenting in chaos and with highly risky behaviours. You will act as case holder and actively liaise with other agencies involved to ensure a consistent and multi agency clinically appropriate approach to the person's care. You will have access to SCM training, regular group and individual clinical supervision, and the support of a skilled and friendly team.
The Team is based at Birch Hill Hospital, though we work across the HMR footprint in various community/clinic settings. The Birch Hill site also has some significant benefits, including free and ample onsite parking, excellent canteen, and newly refurbished digital hub which will allow enhanced ICT support and extra space to work and meet with colleagues.
Birch Hill is also a mental health specific site, which allows close working with other secondary care colleagues on the inpatient unit, in EIT and the Complex Emotional and Relational Needs (CERN) team.
We are proud to provide high quality mental health and learning disability services, both inpatient and in the community across five boroughs of Greater Manchester - Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Stockport and Tameside and Glossop.
Our vision is for a happier and more hopeful life for everyone in our communities and our staff work hard to deliver the very best care for the people who use our services. We’re really proud of our #PennineCarePeople and do everything we can to make sure we’re a great place to work.
