Redruth, United Kingdom Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust Full time

**Primary Mental Health Clinical Team Lead B6**: North Kerrier West Primary Care Network

It’s a refreshing & exciting time to join our Adult Mental Health Services in Cornwall, as we are focused on enhancing our services with outstanding levels of quality care. Our wholescale transformation of the core community mental health service offer is well under way, and we are looking for creative people to join our workforce. We are forging and renewing partnerships between colleagues in Primary & Secondary Care Services to create innovative and transformed mental health care for our population.

Due to these positive & transformative changes, we now have a stimulating and unique opportunity for the right person to work along with the existing mental health team within North Kerrier West Primary Care Network. Whilst this will be under the employment of Cornwall Foundation Trust (CFT), the post is practice based and supervised by the PCN’s Mental Health Practitioners who are also practice based

These new Primary Mental Health Practitioner roles are vital to increasing accessibility to mental health care. As the roles are jointly funded this gives the unique opportunity of working in Primary Care, with GPs and our Mental Health GP Lead, to develop a mental health and well-being team. There is reassurance and support provided by mental health colleagues within Cornwall’ Adult Mental Health Service, providing access to specialist mental health supervision and training. There is also a developing network of Primary Mental Health Practitioners across Cornwall, including a growing Communities of Practice neighbourhood.

**The aims of these roles are**:

- To provide rapid and responsive assessment, signposting and brief treatment to individuals referred to the service by several routes including self-referrals and General Practitioners.
- To provide support to Primary Care staff in the local management of patients with common mental health problems.
- To offer short term mental health interventions to support this client group within primary care settings, working at the primary secondary care interface to facilitate movement of clients between primary and secondary care services

The Primary Mental Health Practitioner will work with the Primary Mental Health Clinical lead to deliver high quality mental health care within the PCN and contribute to developing the service.

We’re an NHS community and mental health provider Trust based in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We deliver community and hospital-based care to improve people’s physical and mental health. We also provide specialist support to people with dementia or a learning disability.

We are a people organisation and people matter to us. As part of the team, you'll help support the health and wellbeing of the people who live and visit this beautiful part of the UK.

Over 4,000 people make up the Trust. This includes doctors, nurses, therapists, plus admin and support staff.

We work in people's homes, in community clinics and bases. Some staff work from one of our 13 community hospitals. Our aspiration is to have great people, provide great care, be a great place to work and a great partner.

Approximately 568,000 people live here. A third of people who live in Cornwall are supported by acute hospital services in Devon. As a result, we also work closely with our partners in Devon. In the summer, and during other holidays lots of people choose to visit the area. This increases the numbers of people who use our services.
