This is an exciting opportunity to join the Isle of Wight NHS Trust Mental Health and Learning Disabilities Division, as it embarks on delivering the new Strategy for the Isle of Wight Mental Health and Learning Disability Services, “No Wrong Door”. This Strategy was co-produced with key stakeholders including service users, families and carers, staff, partner organisations including those from the third sector and commissioners.
The Isle of Wight NHS is launching an exciting new Recovery Service from April 2021. The post holder(s) will work with colleagues in the Recovery Service to implement the delivery of effective and sustainable evidenced base clinical pathways (Reablement, Intensive Rehabilitation and Assertive Outreach). The post holder will work as an integral member of the Multi-Disciplinary Team within 1 of 3 localities, helping to support a caseload of service users on their recovery journey.
