Job summary
Jersey health and social care services are
undergoing a major redesign with a move towards more community focussed,
patient centred provision.
This
post is a role in the new crisis and assessment team that will help streamline
the process of referral and assessment and provide short term intervention for
crises. After this brief intervention service users will be directed to the
correct part of the service for their needs or returned to the GP with advice
for ongoing care if needed. This post will involve work with working age adults
and older adults. It will also cover police referrals and some mental health
law assessments. The Crisis and assessment team will work 24/7 but the medical
posts are for working hours with an on call commitment.
This post is replacing a staff grade who is
moving to work in another part of the mental health care group. The medical
provision within the team consists of 1wte Consultant, 2wte staff grade
psychiatrists. Cover arrangements for leave will be within the medical staff of
this team with a supervising Consultant from Liaison supporting the staff
grades if the Consultant in the Crisis Team is on leave.
Jersey has a small population and it has made
sense to provide acute services in a different way to the standard UK models.

opportunity to shape and influence the future provision of services to suit
Jersey.

difficulties), inpatient care, liaison psychiatry, memory assessment, the
