Manchester, United Kingdom Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust Full time

The post-holder will join a pathway commissioned to meet the needs of those with Post-COVID Syndrome (PCS) and any future Long Term Health Condition (LTC) related service provision. In response to the healthcare needs reported by a proportion of people following infection with COVID-19, a national five-point plan has been published which includes the development of bespoke care pathways to complement existing primary, community and rehabilitation services.

A new service pathway has been developed across Manchester, Wigan, Salford, Bolton and Trafford which aims to address the well-being and mental health needs of people with PCS, many of whom will be living with significant functional impairment, uncertainty, and distress.

The post-holder will join the existing GMMH PCS service that primarily delivers psychological therapies. The PCS team consists mostly of psychological wellbeing practitioners, cognitive-behavioural therapists and psychological therapists and incorporates a ‘hub’ of professionals representing Clinical Health Psychology, Neuropsychology and Pharmacy.

The post-holder will provide appropriate cognitive behavioural assessment, formulation and high intensity individual and group intervention. They will work with clients experiencing the full range of Common Mental Health Disorders, of varying complexity, for which CBT has been demonstrated to be potentially clinically effective. These difficulties will be co-morbid with other commonly occurring PCS presenting problems, which may become the focus for intervention, e.g. fatigue, breathlessness, chest pain, joint and muscle pain, cognitive difficulties, insomnia, loneliness and isolation. We expect the interventions provided to be collaboratively aligned to service users’ varying goals and preferred treatment outcomes.

Greater Manchester Mental Health (GMMH) Foundation Trust employs over 6,400 members of staff, who deliver services from more than 160 locations.

We provide inpatient and community-based mental health care for people living in Bolton, the city of Manchester, Salford, Trafford and the borough of Wigan, and a wide range of specialist mental health and substance misuse services across Greater Manchester, the north west of England and beyond.

Greater Manchester is one of the world's most innovative, original and exciting places to live and work. From the beauty of the surrounding countryside to the heart of the vibrant inner city with great shopping, entertainment and dining options.

Wherever you go you will experience a great northern welcome with people famed for their warmth, humour and generosity.

Our people enjoy their work, have opportunities to learn and develop their skills and are encouraged to generate new ideas that improve care for our service users.
