The post holder would be expected to see emergency assessments following a duty assessment (by care co-ordinator rota) and would also be expected to engage in Section 12 work for patients allocated to their teams. The CMHT has the acute assessment role of a crisis team as per the local Acute Care Pathway (ACP) which means that all referrals to secondary services are triaged in community teams and assessed before referral on. The post-holder would provide advice and support to other members of the team, primarily for their own case-load but also for new patient queries and general advice.
