The Service promotes a dynamic and innovative way of working, triaging and responding to crisis referrals, using both tele-coaching and video communication technology as well as face-to-face assessments. (Livewell's First Response Service links closely with our AMHP Service including the Joint Response Unit which could involve working alongside multi-agency colleagues (ie Police, Paramedics) during the evenings providing acute assessment and care and support to people experiencing mental health crisis in the community (responding in a marked response vehicle). As such this B6 role could provide the experience required for future AMHP training, subject to further expression of interest/application, and AMHP posts/training becoming available. This role may not be eligible for sponsorship under the Skilled Worker route, please refer to the Direct Gov website for more information with regards to eligibility.
The role of Senior Mental Health Practitioner will require working collaboratively with key partner organisations, service users, carers, clinicians and other practitioners within a multi-disciplinary team in delivering services to provide brief clinical risk and mental health assessment, formulation and short-term contingency planning for people presenting in mental health crisis. The service provides a 7-day a week, 24-hours a day service for 365 days a year and involves working shifts.
Although based in the First Response Service the service and role are part of our integrated community mental health service offer and as such may also provide the opportunity to work across different team(s).

Senior Mental Health Practitioners provide brief clinical risk and mental health assessment, formulation and short-term contingency planning for people presenting in mental health crisis.
Working within the community, Senior Mental Health Practitioners provide face-to-face assessments working closely with other mental health services and agencies such as the police, ambulance and local authority.
Using a range of brief solution-focused interventions, Senior Mental Health Practitioners empower patients, carers and their families in decision making and divert to a range of health and social care resources for support.
These include primary care settings, community settings, and other health service sites, as required. This could include the Joint Response Unit vehicle. Lone working in the community is a major element of this job as is potential exposure to verbal and physical aggression. The First Response Service links closely with our AMHP Service including the Joint Response Unit:
