At NEIS, you won't just be a part of our team — you will belong to a supportive and highly motivated multi-disciplinary environment that values your unique contributions. We prioritise your professional development, offering accredited training and the chance to lead exciting new projects to broaden our therapeutic offerings.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced OT, Social Worker or Nurse to work within the Newham Early Intervention Service (NEIS). The service supports 18-65 year olds experiencing a First Episode of Psychosis. It aims to reduce the impact of psychosis by reducing the duration of untreated psychosis and engaging clients in biopsychosocial interventions.
NEIS is a progressive and evolving team, looking to recruit candidates who are similarly interested in creative approaches to supporting individuals with First Episode Psychosis. It is important that our values align with that of any successful candidate.
Newham has the highest rates of psychosis among all London boroughs. The ambition for NEIS is to develop a sustainable model of care that collaborates with service users and families, harnessing the collective power of the broader community and community-based services. We are therefore keen to meet candidates who are passionate about using innovative and community-based approaches to support the recovery of individuals and their networks.
You would be working in a highly-motivated multi-disciplinary team, which values the unique contribution of each member. We are particularly interested in supporting Care Coordinators in their professional development, through accredited training courses or by setting up new projects. We are also interested in broadening the scope of our therapeutic interventions, and welcome new ideas around how we can develop these.
