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

This is an exciting role for those who are proactive and passionate about innovation and providing high-quality care to people who have been identified as in need of mental health support in a primary care setting. This is a fantastic opportunity to develop your career and skill set in a highly innovative and creative environment.

The practitioners will access and link with secondary mental health services and help provide a “bridge” between primary care and secondary mental health providers. This will make it easier for people accessing services to obtain the help they need.

The practitioner will work alongside the multi-disciplinary team and be closely linked to the Community Mental Health Team and Steps to Wellbeing Service (STEPS). The Practitioners will provide triage, assessment, brief interventions and lead on development and implementation of specialist mental health training in the practice. The practitioners will facilitate onward access to other secondary care-based services, third sector services and link in with existing support services via the Primary Care Network.

This new role will work collaboratively between Primary Care and Secondary Mental Health Services as part of an Integrated Model of Care.

The intention is to focus services around local communities and local GP practices to help rebuild and reconnect healthcare teams across the communities they serve. This practitioner role will provide targeted care according to the needs of the population by supporting the PCN clinical strategy.

This role will work across an identified Primary Care Network to provide early assessment, treatment and improved access to appropriate care pathways and provide evidence-based interventions for people with mental illness.
