Job overview

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an empathetic and motivated Associate Practitioner to join the multi award-winning Integrated Access Partnership (IAP).

As part of our multidisciplinary team, you will assist with providing mental health triage, assessment and support to individuals experiencing mental health crisis. Using your communication and engagement skills, you will help us deliver the right care at the right time, improving outcomes for service users.

This rotational role involves:

  • Telephone triage, assessment and support
  • Support with face-to-face crisis assessments
  • Emotional support and short-term interventions
  • Supporting service users to access appropriate services
  • Liaising with professionals across health, emergency services and the third sector

We are looking for someone with:

This is a rotational post within the IAP, with opportunities to work across all bases, including; the Ambulance Service clinical hub (SWAST, Bradley Stoke, Bristol), NHS 111 Mental Health Clinical Assessment Service (Brisdoc, Whitchurch, Bristol), Urgent Assessment Centre (AWP, Southmead, Bristol) and on our Rapid Engagement Vehicles providing face to face mental health support in the community.

Working as part of a multi-disciplinary team, helping to assess and support individuals experiencing mental health crisis is incredibly rewarding. You will be working alongside emergency and urgent care services and will be assessing people of all ages, whatever their mental health difficulty at the first point of contact. The majority of this work is telephone based but there will be the opportunity for face to face engagement in the community.

Our aim is to provide direct access to mental health services, providing a timely response, which improves the outcome and experience for service users.

The IAP are an innovative team who strive to provide compassionate and person centred care to those accessing our service.

If you are eager and have the skills and experience to work with people experiencing mental health crisis and emotional distress, we would love to hear from you.
