Shaftesbury, United Kingdom Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust Full time

An opportunity has arisen for an ARRS Assistant Practitioner to join our established, growing and committed Adult Community Mental Health Team in Shaftesbury.

As a ARRS Assistant Practitioner you will provide additional care and services across the Vale Primary Care Network patient population. You will be required to deal with patients and, if appropriate, their carers, before or after the patients consultation with a clinician or other healthcare professionals. This role provides the opportunity and time to use your skills to develop rapport and trusting relationships with patients, which is at the core of the team’s approach.

The ARRS Assistant Practitioner role will entail working under the direction of the Mental Health Practitioner and support in all activities relating to the delivery of client focussed care, carrying out brief screening, assessment tools, planning and brief psychological interventions for people with a wide range of mental health issues across the Vale Primary Care Network.

You will also work in conjunction with the Mental Health Practitioners, to provide self-management interventions to service users with mild to moderate anxiety and depression, helping to develop interventions which are group based, providing psychoeducation on stress, anxiety, depression, and emotional wellbeing.

Promote Recovery and Social Inclusion, working within the parameters of legislation, policy and procedures and respecting diversity

Enable service users to make lifestyle changes by means of behavioural change techniques.

Work collaboratively with identified local partners, including Primary Care, Secondary Care and VCSE partners.

Raise awareness of Mental Health conditions, promoting healthy living and compassionate communities

Work as part of a multi-disciplinary team within Primary Care.

Be actively engaged in, and contribute to, evolution of services, with respect to increasing demand on General Practice and the need to provide a safe and equitable service for all patients registered at the practice

This is a permanent part time position of 22.5 hours, you will be based at Shaftesbury Primary Care Network and will need to have a valid driving licence and use of a car, as you will be required to travel.

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.

Our 7,000-strong workforce is at the heart of what we do and our success is a testament to our brilliant people. We're all about building a workplace for the future, we believe in equal opportunities and we celebrate diversity. We’re an inclusive workplace, where everyone is welcome, everyone can be authentic, and we are all encouraged to be the best version of ourselves.

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.
