Trainee Mental Health Wellbeing Practitioner

4 months ago


Gloucester, United Kingdom Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We are looking for highly motivated individuals to join our Community Recovery Teams as Trainee Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioners. These are exciting brand-new roles created by Health Education England and NHS England to support the transformation of our adult community mental health services.

Your training will be fully funded by the NHS, and you will be eligible for a full-time qualified position if you pass the course. In return, we ask that you commit to staying with us for at least two years after you qualify.

This role will contribute to ensuring adults with severe mental health problems have greater access to psychologically informed interventions.

As a Trainee Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner, you will be expected to work under supervision as part of our Recovery and Complex Psychological Intervention mental health teams delivering psychologically informed interventions and supporting adults to receive the right care.

We envisage that interviews for this role will take place week commencing 16th January 2023

You will need to have flexibility and adaptability and a passion for working with adults with severe mental health problems.

During the one-year graduate certificate or postgraduate certificate training provided online by Exeter University, you will, under local supervision, develop knowledge and practice skills to employ wellbeing-focused psychologically informed interventions for serious mental health problems for adults individually and in groups, as well as support their families and carers, in line with the education providers expectations.

At Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust, we are supportive of the people we care for in the community and aim to provide a fully responsive service to everyone who needs it. This is the same approach we take for our employees. We look to value the skills and experiences of those we work with, whether they are service users, carers, families or those looking to work with us.

Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust is part of the NHS. We treat NHS patients according to NHS principles and standards. The difference is the Trust is accountable to local people, rather than to Government, and so we are able to work closely with our community to develop services in the way that best suits the needs of local people.

For more information about these new roles see the Health Careers webpageMental health and wellbeing practitioner | Health Careers

Please note that these posts are Health Education England Funded, applicants must meet the ‘2-year psychological professions funding rule’.

Once an individual has commenced an NHS-funded psychological professions training programme, a 2-year period will be required to pass from the expected completion date of that training before the funded individual would be eligible for further NHS funding to train in another psychological profession training (where this leads to a change of occupation).

If you have any questions about your eligibility please do get in contact with us.

**The Trainee Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner will**:

- attend all elements of the training programme of study and progress successfully through assessments of competence and attainment
- work in an adult community mental health service when not completing the programme of study
- develop and practice psychologically-informed interventions under supervision, working directly with adults in the community
- support collaborative care planning, alongside other members of the multi-disciplinary team
- work closely alongside a team of mental health professionals to deliver a set of brief wellbeing-focused psychologically informed interventions - not therapy - for example
- Behavioural Activation and Graded Exposure using the “GOALS” programme
- Problem-solving
- Improving sleep
- Recognising and managing emotions
- Guided self-help for bulimia and binge-eating
- Confidence building
- Support with medicines management

The Trainee Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner will be required to:

- Demonstrate the ability to work at degree level
- Have experience of work interacting with the public, working as part of a team, analysing complex information and communicating effectively
- Demonstrate the ability to establish and maintain empathic, supportive relationships with people in significant distress, their families and carer

The qualification, training & experience requirements for the role are underlined in the Job Description/Person Specification.
