Consultant Psychiatrist
- Assertive Outreach Team Oxford The Oxford City Assertive Outreach Team is being created specifically to engage and support people with severe mental illness who find it difficult to access or remain connected with traditional mental health services. We will deliver person-centred, recovery-focused care through persistent engagement, strong therapeutic relationships, and community-based interventions. Our practice is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and multidisciplinary, with a commitment to reducing health inequalities, promoting social inclusion, and enabling individuals to live meaningful lives in their communities. Core Operating Principles
- Oxford City Assertive Outreach Team: Person-Centred and Recovery-Focused Practice:We work alongside individuals to identify and achieve their personal goals, strengths, and aspirations. Engagement is persistent, respectful, versatile, and based on building trusting therapeutic relationships over time. Community-Based Care:Care is mostly delivered in community settings where people live, work, and socialise. Care planning is collaborative and respects autonomy, rights, and individual preferences. Strengths-Based Approach:We focus on people's capabilities, resilience, and community resources rather than solely on symptoms, deficits, or risks. We support individuals to build independence and social inclusion.



Whole-Person Care:Mental health needs are addressed alongside physical health, housing, employment, finances, substance use, learning disabilities/autism, anti-social behaviours, social networks, and other determinants of wellbeing. Risk Management Through Engagement:Risk is best understood and managed through meaningful relationships, regular contact, and collaborative planning and formulation. We balance positive risk-taking with the need to promote safety for our service users and members of the public. Health Equity and Inclusion:We actively address barriers related to ethnicity, culture, language, disability, gender, sexuality, age, homelessness, and social disadvantage. We work closely with primary care, acute services, social care, housing providers, voluntary organisations, criminal justice agencies, carers, and families to support recovery and continuity of care. Interventions are informed by current evidence, national guidance, and continuous quality improvement. Flexible and Responsive Care:Support is adapted to changing needs and circumstances. Co-Production: People with lived experience, carers, and community partners contribute to the design, delivery, and evaluation of the service. We also offer a relocation allowance of up to £8,000 for external applicants (subject to eligibility criteria). #
