London, United Kingdom Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust Full time

An exciting opportunity has arisen in Westminster for 2 full-time enthusiastic, motivated Mental Health Therapeutic Practitioners Band 7 practitioners. These roles form part of the wider transformation and expansion of community-based mental health services set out in the NHS Long Term Plan. Having the practitioner fully embedded within the Primary Care Network (PCN)/GPs maximises the opportunity to integrate two different organisations and working cultures, in an area where seamless transfers of patient care are particularly critical. These roles will enable a greater provision of proactive, personalised mental health care.

The practitioner will be embedded as part of the PCN multi-disciplinary team (MDT) working alongside the other roles, they will also be part of the community mental health hub MDT with ready access to a wide range of support and expertise across both MDTs. It is envisaged that the focus of a practitioner’s work will generally be with people whose needs cannot be met by primary care services. The practitioner can facilitate onward access to other secondary care-based services or third sector services integrated within the mental health pathway.

The successful applicant may have contact with patients or service users. As an NHS Trust we strongly encourage and support vaccination as this remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course patients and service users when working on our healthcare settings.
- Will work with patients to support shared decision-making about self-management; facilitate onward access to treatment services; and provide brief psychosocial interventions, where qualified to do so and where appropriate.
- Supervise and oversee the triage function within the mental health teams, being a point of reference for difficult decisions the triage team need to make on a daily basis, and supervising members of the triage team (where dedicated triage teams are the model) and ensuring the integration of the triage process as a part of the team’s function.
- work closely with other PCN-based roles to help address the potential range of biopsychosocial needs of patients with mental health problems. E.g. PCN clinical pharmacists for medication reviews, and social prescribing link workers for access to community-based support.
- be supported through the local Community Hub teams by robust clinical governance structures to maintain quality and safety, including supervision where appropriate.
