Would you like to help people manage their mental health in a new role?
Perhaps your lived experience of mental health problems is putting you in a unique position to support others going through similar challenges.
Are you looking for a career change and are enthusiastic about caring and supporting people?
We are recruiting for workers across Oxfordshire, based in Oxford City, Banbury and Witney and Abingdon and surrounding areas.
We are looking for a highly motivated individual to join our teams as a Trainee Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner. This is an exciting brand-new role created by Health Education England and NHS England and Improvement to support the transformation of adult community mental health services. Your training will be fully funded by the NHS, and you will be eligible for a full-time qualified position if you pass the course. In return, we ask that you commit to staying with us for at least two years after you qualify.
As a Trainee Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner, you will be expected to work under supervision as part of a dynamic mental health team delivering psychologically informed interventions and supporting adults to receive the right care. You will need to have flexibility and adaptability and a passion for working with older adults/adults with severe mental health problems.
During the one-year graduate certificate/postgraduate certificate training, you will, under supervision, develop knowledge and practice skills to employ wellbeing-focused psychologically informed interventions for serious mental health problems for adults individually and in groups, as well as support their families and carers, in line with the education providers expectations.
**The Trainee Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner will**:
- attend all elements of the training programme of study and progress successfully through assessments of competence and attainment
- support collaborative care planning, alongside other members of the multi-disciplinary team
- work closely alongside a team of mental health professionals to deliver a set of brief wellbeing-focused psychologically informed interventions - not therapy - for example behavioural Activation and Graded Exposure using the “GOALS” programme.
- support with problem-solving, improving sleep, recognising and managing emotions, guided self-help for bulimia and binge-eating, medicines management.
