This is an exciting role for those who are proactive and passionate about innovation and providing high-quality care to people who have been identified as in need of mental health support in a primary care setting.

This is a fantastic opportunity to develop your career and skill set in a highly innovative and creative environment.


This new role will work collaboratively between Primary Care and Secondary Mental Health Services as part of an Integrated Model of Care.


The intention is to focus services around local communities and local GP practices to help rebuild and reconnect healthcare teams across the communities they serve.

This practitioner role will provide targeted care according to the needs of the population by supporting the PCN clinical strategy.


The practitioner will facilitate onward access to other secondary care-based services, third sector services and link in with existing support services via the Primary Care Network.


This post is full-time 37.5 hours, however consideration will also be given to a job share or part time working.

Applicants who subscribe to the DBS update service and are able to present a valid DBS certificate may not require a new check.


At Dorset HealthCare we're on a mission to empower people to make the most of their lives through our outstanding, joined-up healthcare services.

We're a dynamic, forward-looking Trust, running 12 community hospitals, specialist inpatient facilities and a wide range of integrated community and mental health services for a population of almost 800,000 people.

We do things differently here - it's one of the reasons the CQC rated us 'outstanding' in 2019.

It's also why 95% of patients across our services say they have a good or very good experience of our services and 89% of staff feel they can really make a difference.

Whether you're looking to work with us in one of our bustling market towns, vibrant urban locations, thriving seaside spots, or among the rolling hills of Dorset, there are lots of ways you can make a difference in our communities.

We're all about building a workplace for the future, we believe in equal opportunities and we celebrate diversity.

Working with us you'll be part of a strong team, challenge yourself, build a career, and teach us what we don't know.

And you'll be working towards our vision to be better every day through excellence, compassion and expertise in all we do.
