An exciting 18 month secondment/fixed term opportunity has arisen at the Langley Green Hospital Haven to cover maternity leave.
The Haven aims to prevent the need for A&E attendance where people are experiencing a mental health crisis and require a period of time (usually up to 23 hours) for assessment and support with onward care and treatment planning.
At the Haven, practitioners are confident and work with a great deal of autonomy. Colleagues are expected to be able to triage referrals and whether patients referred are suitable to attend, and to conduct thorough and holistic assessments over a 23 hour period.
It is expected that nurses are able to safely plan onward care collaboratively with the person accessing services as well as family and carers enabling safe and effective discharge back into the community and continued recovery from a period of mental health crisis.
We screen and consider referrals from a range of allied professionals including the police, ambulance colleagues, community mental health teams, and mental health liaison teams in A&E departments.
Working at The Haven offers practitioners the opportunity to further develop skills in conducting holistic assessments of a persons' wellbeing, care and treatment planning, a broader understanding of mental health pathways and options for supporting people outside of hospital settings, confidence in collaborating with people accessing services as well as family/carers, and autonomy in delivering high quality care and treatment planning.
About us
We are looking for motivated, flexible, reliable and experienced practitioners who are keen to continue developing their skills in holistically supporting individuals experiencing mental health crisis who want to take on a new challenge and broaden their skills and knowledge.
Please wait...this will take a moment...
