Are you passionate about delivering high-quality mental health care in the community? Our Home Treatment Team (HTT) is expanding, and we are looking for skilled and compassionate Mental Health Practitioners to join our service.

HTT provides intensive support to adults of working age experiencing acute mental health crises. Our focus is on helping individuals remain safely at home, avoiding hospital admission wherever possible, and supporting those recently discharged to minimise inpatient stays. We work collaboratively with individuals, carers, and wider services to offer responsive, person-centred crisis intervention across Cornwall.

The team is currently undergoing significant investment to strengthen our service and respond to the evolving needs of our communities. This includes increasing clinical staffing to support caseload demand and contributing to MDT caseload planning and collaborative care.

We welcome applications from:

• Registered Mental Health Nurses
• Social Workers
• Occupational Therapists

If you’re committed to compassionate crisis care, enjoy working within a dynamic MDT, and want to be part of a service that is developing and growing, we would love to hear from you.

Using the whole team approach The Home Treatment Team (incorporating the Crisis Hub), operates a 24 hour, 7 days a week service. Providing urgent clinical assessment for clients in immediate crisis where their needs are best met away from physical health setting (A&E). A home treatment element of client care, engage with a defined client group presenting with acute mental health distress/needs, who have agreed to have their treatment within the community rather than within a hospital setting.

Using evidence based practice provide assessment and interventions identified thatpromotestheengagementoftheclientintreatment,toassistthemintorecovery.
