Registered Professional - South Warwickshire CMHT

Registered Professional - South Warwickshire CMHT

Closing date: 14 December 2025

We have a post for a band 6 Registered Professionals within the team that we are looking to recruit to. These can be from any professional discipline - Nursing, Occupational Therapy or Social Work. No matter which profession you are from you will be supported to maintain and utilise your specialist skills.

This role will cover a broad spectrum of diagnoses and presentations including people with emotion regulation difficulties, schizophrenia, mood disorders, anxiety, depression, OCD symptoms, and psychotic depression.

Our team covers the locality of South Warwickshire. We have bases in Leamington Spa and Stratford Upon Avon and work across both locations. You would mostly be working across Stratford Upon Avon.

Main duties of the job

The team has invested in considerable staff training and development over the years to develop skills in working with our patient group. Working within an established team, you will manage a caseload of clients with complex mental health problems across all diagnostic presentations and deliver a range of interventions. You will gradually build your skills and confidence as part of a multi disciplinary team, using evidence based approaches. You will also communicate with a wide variety of clients, professionals, partners and agencies.

As part of working in our team you will be working with individuals who can present as chaotic and emotionally dysregulated. This can be a challenging patient group; however, the team has a positive, non judgemental approach toward this group, understanding what has brought them to their current presentation, recognising individual strengths and establishing clear, focused, professional relationships that identify clear boundaries and expectations for both patient and clinician. This empowers both patient and clinician to see what can be achieved through clear collaborative care planning. Patients with a psychotic presentation may be managed through shared care within the team, allowing the sharing of responsibility, skills and knowledge. This offers staff the opportunity to develop their role whilst being supported and guided by more experienced clinicians.

About us

Working for our team offers you the opportunity to develop excellent specialist skills and take part in imaginative and effective interventions. Time is spent investing in your development, with many opportunities to shadow colleagues on duty, during assessments and during visits when you first join us. There are many training opportunities and time is given to allow you to access this. This will allow you to confidently undertake the role of case management, eventually leading to managing a full caseload, being part of a duty team and undertaking trusted assessments. The nature of the team means that you bring your knowledge, experience, enthusiasm and empathy, and are exposed to the knowledge and skills of other colleagues, promoting growth and development within your own practice at an accelerated rate. We recognise the work we do can be difficult at times and have a strong supportive approach - both in professional matters and when it impacts on us personally. This team's well spaced structure adds to varying levels of support and shared responsibility.

Job responsibilities

We are looking for staff with some experience of assessing and working with people with complex and significant mental health problems, or who wish to further develop such skills. We see this as an ideal opportunity to develop more specialist skills. It is important you have good communication skills and can work on your own initiative as well as collaboratively with colleagues. A willingness and enthusiasm to learn new skills and develop your practice is vital.

This team provides interventions on a one to one basis and in group formats. You will have the opportunity to participate in groups and you will be given training within the team for this. Above all, it is vital that you have a sense of humour if you wish to join our team.
