Interviews will be held on 16 July 2024.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Mental Health Practitioner to join a well-established, dynamic team working within the Adults Community Mental Health Team in Slough. 

The Slough Community Mental Health Team is a multi-disciplinary team comprised of social workers, community mental health nurses, consultant psychiatrists, psychological therapists, occupational therapists, community support workers, employment specialists, and administrators/reception staff. The CMHT is jointly funded by Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and Slough Borough Council. The main aim of the team is to provide a range of treatment interventions including medication and psychological therapies to support adults with significant mental illnesses in the community, as well as their carers, and to coordinate the services they receive.

The post would be best suitable for someone with experience of working in an Adult mental health setting. You would need to have significant experience of working with people with mental illness and applying a range of interventions. The post holder would be required to work in collaboration with service users and their families/carers.
