JOB DESCRIPTION: Catchment Area: The post of SpR, ST4-6, based with the crisis resolution service (CRS) for<br />
Exeter. Population 130,000.This service has been established since 2003 and is about to include working with<br />
older adults with functional mental health difficulties. The administrative base is at The Cedars, Wonford<br />
House Hospital in the city.<br />
Description: The primary clinical responsibilities of the SpR, ST4-6, will be to provide expert medical psychiatric<br />
assessment, treatment and care to patients presenting in crisis with severe mental illness. This will allow the<br />
post holder to develop expertise in assessing and positively managing risk. The CRS is a community service<br />
with highly skilled membership and remit to ensure community treatment options where this is deemed<br />
appropriate and in the patient’s best interests. It is a 24hour service and has a gate keeping role with regard to<br />
hospital admission and carries a caseload of up to 20 patients. The post holder would be a member of the team<br />
and would be encouraged to support the team in all aspects of their work. The post is in an ideal situation to<br />
completely understand the care pathways of patients throughout Primary, Secondary and even Tertiary mental<br />
health care.<br />
Training Opportunities: Dr Tanya Nelson has been a specialist trainer for four years and has an MSc in<br />
Psychiatric Research Methodology. She is involved in many non-clinical activities including audit, Trust<br />
management and research. Her interests include staff satisfaction and burnout in community teams and early<br />
discharge facilitation from inpatient stays by crisis teams. She would be happy to support and encourage the<br />
post holder in their research.<br />
The Special Interest subject would be decided by discussions with the trainer. The final timetable and the<br />
nature of the work undertaken would be determined by the educational objectives and training needs of the<br />
