The Community Rehabilitation Team (CRT) West supports people living with complex mental health problems to achieve their goals, along with gaining the skills and confidence to live as independently as possible.
CRT West works as an MDT, discussing, formulating and delivering individualised plans. We are looking to recruit a dynamic, enthusiastic and experienced Social Worker (Level 2) to the team on a full time basis.
This role would sit within our mental health complex care services in the Dorset Council area; this incorporates Community Rehab Team, which is based at Forston Clinic, Assertive Outreach Team which is based in Weymouth and the Glendinning Unit in Dorchester.
This is a new and exciting role working in an integrated way across the rehabilitation pathway.
You will need to work creatively to deliver a high standard of care that optimises a person’s own health, wellbeing and recovery. We work in a responsive way to provide stability in a person’s life and help them to develop meaningful occupation alongside managing the symptoms of their mental illness.
The role of social worker in the team will lead on all aspects of social care, and will require experience, or keen interest, in working within a specialist service. Knowledge and application of the Care Act, Mental Capacity Act and Mental Health Act is essential to the role.
CRT West covers the footprint of the Dorset Council Locality and therefore access to a vehicle is essential.
