Current Opportunities
High Intensity User Caseworker
Hours of Work: 9-5 (37.5 p/w)
Base: Bodmin
Area of Work: Cornwall (flexible to the needs of clients)
Salary: £22,000 per annum
About the role:
The post holder will work with a rolling caseload of high intensity users, and through direct contact, seek to appropriately reduce the number of emergency ambulance calls and unscheduled care interactions. Improvements will be used to deliver measurable outcomes for the benefit of patients, staff and the public.
The main focus groups include some of the most vulnerable, homeless persons, people who self harm, the isolated and medical, social presentations who may not be accessing scheduled services and therefore rely heavily on unscheduled services.
Service personalisation is pivotal to this role, with concordance underpinning changes in patient behaviour rather than compliance through fear of isolation from supportive services.
We aim to find out what matters to people rather than what is the matter.
Alongside the individual, we create a bespoke plan and support the journey, reducing barriers and aiding navigation of pathways across all sectors and services. We strive to aid connection to a better life for the individual within their community.
In return we can offer you:
- A fantastic team of people who are passionate about mental health and supporting their colleagues.
- Support with developing in your role and career.
- Annual leave entitlement of 25 days + 8 bank holidays (pro rata for part time).
- Contributory pension scheme.
- Staff training workshops and shared learning opportunities.
- Flexible working where possible.
- Access to counselling.
