West Kent CRHT is a full multidisciplinary staff team.
Within West Kent CRHT we have the benefit of having staff from numerous backgrounds, along with our Support Time and Recovery workers who bring with them a wealth of life and practical experiences, we also have registered mental health nurses, occupational therapists, psychologists, social workers (with approved mental health act practitioner status) and speciality doctors attached to the team.
This means that we are able to offer access to a wealth of opinions and assessments that will very accurately inform a person's signposting for future care, and ensuring that they are suitably cared for in the community.
We have achieved this by opening our vacancies as "community mental health workers", rather that just nurses or social workers for example, meaning that we can recruit from the wider professional pool, obviously in terms of our psychologist and medical staff these are specific roles, designed to perform specific functions of assessment and diagnosis within the team, which add to the compliment of diverse skills we can offer anyone accessing our team.
As a team this diverse skill base is extremely important in the service we offer and the thoroughness that we apply to our assessments, we are able to look at needs and risks from a number of differing points of view, which enables better care planning and hence more positive outcomes.
