Structured Clinical Management (SCM) is an evidence-based treatment for service-users with Severe Mental Health difficulties. The Croydon locality has adopted SCM as the framework for healthcare across the Directorate, embedding it in its operational policies. It is used with the full range of Secondary Care Patients including those with Psychosis Conditions, Mood and Affective Conditions, and Personality Disorder.
We are seeking to employ and support a mental health practitioner to take on a role as an SCM specialist within the North CMHT. They will offer assessments and deliver high quality SCM treatment for the Secondary Care group. This will involve both individual case management and low-medium intensity psychological interventions.
We are seeking an experienced Community Mental Health Practitioner to work within the Croydon Secondary Care Community Mental Health Pathway. Applications are welcome from qualified practitioners in the field of Nursing, Social Work, Occupational Therapy, Psychology and Psychotherapy including Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioners and Clinical Associates in Psychology, Medicine and Pharmacy.
