Prif ddyletswyddau'r swydd

The appointee will be based at the Becklin Centre. This post will cover a vacancy in the department while substantive posts are considered. The post holder’s job plan will be dedicated to the Hospital Mental Team (HMHT). The HMHT receives between 3 to 4 referrals each day from the general hospital wards. A team meeting is held each morning so that the referrals can be managed and allocated effectively. The consultants normally lead in allocating new assessments and follow up reviews between themselves and the rest of the team. Referrals are prioritised at the point of referral and those that are deemed to be urgent, have to be discussed with one of the liaison consultants. The post holder will be expected to provide direct assessments for complex cases as well as supervision to other team members as required. This will typically equate to the postholder undertaking 2 to 3 new patient assessments and 4 to 6 follow up/review assessments per week. The postholder would not be expected to carry a caseload. The postholder will be required to carry out Mental Health Act work as required in the general hospital.
