Huntingdon, United Kingdom Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust Full time

12 Month Fixed-Term Contract

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust (CPFT) invite applicants for a Mental Health Liaison Practitioner post. We are recruiting for a secondment in the Fenland area.

CPFT was one of the 12 national exemplar pilot sites invited to roll out their model for radical change in the delivery of community mental health services in 2019. The Adult Community Mental Health Transformation seeks to offer place based local care, eliminate current gaps between services and join up mental health care delivery.

The Primary Care Mental Health Service sits at the heart of this transformation in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough because it is organized around local PCNs/Neighbourhoods, can refer people directly into new services in CPFT which are filling the gaps between IAPT and secondary care. Its Mental Health Liaison Practitioners (MHLPs) work closely with primary care, statutory and non-statutory colleagues to ensure that care is joined up.

If you are looking for a challenge, enjoy variety in your work and wish to be part of an exciting new service, striving to improve services for people with mental health challenges, we want to hear from you.

Please note the salary will be adjusted in line with Agenda for Change and implemented accordingly.

MHLP's have a dual role within the Primary Care Mental Health Service. They are the most senior clinician operating at PCN level and it is their responsibility to triage people referred by their GPs to ensure that the right clinician in the team assesses them.

The MHLPs assess the most complex people themselves and work closely with the consultant and 8a Nurse Medical Prescriber aligned to their PCNs to ensure that the most acutely unwell people can access MDT support without delay.

The other key part of role the MHLP’s role is to know the population they are working with and liaise with the key services in their neighbourhood who are supporting people with complex mental health needs. The MHLPs attend virtual clinics with the GPs in each of the surgeries that they work and monthly meetings with their local GP PCN mental health lead. They liaise with local statutory and non-statutory colleagues who provide support for people with complex mental health needs in the community, offer outreach engagement with local community groups to ensure equality of access for the ethnic minority groups in their neighbourhood and, as the ICS develop its local infrastructure will have close links with their neighbourhood project and program leads and attend the Community Safety Partnership Boards.

As a Trust we are keen to provide you with the necessary support to ensure that you can develop both within your recruited to role but also to encourage wider promotional opportunities.

Cambridgeshire & Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust is a health & social care organisation dedicated to providing high quality care with compassion to improve the health & wellbeing of the people we care for, as well as supporting & empowering them to lead a fulfilling life.
