We have an exciting opportunity to recruit a Band 6 Mental Health Practitioner who has an interest in Adult and Older Persons Mental Health to the Newcastle North PCN through Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS). The post will be integrated into the PCN mental health and multi-disciplinary team working across 5 member Practices.

The adoption of this role is an exciting and new development that will build on and complement the progress of the new model of primary mental health care support.

Newcastle North PCN comprises of 5 separate member GP Practices in 4 locations working together to provide patient care to a population of just over 35,000.

They are an enthusiastic, dynamic and friendly PCN who constantly strive to improve patient pathways and health care outcomes.

We are seeking to find a Mental Health Practitioner to join the team and make a difference, providing high quality assessments and short-term interventions to support this patient group.

The role delivers timely access to an integrated, high quality, service user-centred service in primary care that enables people with mental health needs and/or social care problems (regardless of diagnosis) to improve their well-being and functionality, thereby preventing, reducing or delaying the need for more specialist services (either for mental health, physical health or social care needs).

The Mental Health Practitioner will be embedded as part of the Primary Care Network Multi-Disciplinary Team, as well as the Community Mental Health Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) with ready access to a wide range of support and expertise across both.

The focus of practitioners’ work within the primary care setting will generally be people whose needs cannot be met by IAPT services but who may not need ongoing care from secondary care community mental health services. The practitioner can facilitate onward access to other secondary care-based services, or third sector services integrated within the mental health pathway, as well as provide a range of evidence based, recovery focused interventions and support to service users and their carers where appropriate.

North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare is one of only two specialist mental health trusts in England with an overall ‘Outstanding’ rating.

We are on an ambitious journey to deliver our vision to be outstanding - in all we do and how we do it.
