Wellbeing Practitioner, Mental Health Single Point
2 weeks ago
This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in shaping and modernising Mental Health services in Hywel Dda University Health Board based in Withybush General Hospital, Haverfordwest or Brynmair Clinic in Prince Phillip Hospital Llanelli.
One of the central points of Hywel Dda’s ‘Transforming Mental Health Agenda’ is a ‘Single Point of Contact to improve access for everyone’. This Single Point of Contact is a 24/7 telephone mental health triage assessment service delivered by skilled professional staff who will provide sensitive and specialist mental health screening to ensure individuals receive the appropriate outcome. The philosophy of the service is as follows:
Compassion - When people ask for support for a crisis of their mental health they are listened to & supported.
Prevention - Access to support should be as early as possible, ideally before the point of crisis.
Equality - A crisis of mental health should be treated with the same urgency as physical health care.
Resilience - Build responses on the strengths of the individual and provide information and options for self-care and self-referral.
As a Band 5 Wellbeing Practitioner you will provide an all-age service offering high quality telephone triage, coaching, advice, and assessment to individuals presenting with existing mental illness, in mental distress or acute crisis, resulting in a safe and appropriate clinical decision.
Information, advice and guidance will also be provided for families and carers and there will be a professional telephone line for our partner agencies such as GP’s, Welsh Ambulance, Local Authority, Police and the third sector.
The wellbeing Practitioner will work under the guidance of a Senior Practitioner on a shift basis covering 24 hours 7 days a week with a varied multi-disciplinary team. Using a range of psychological interventions and skills to support individuals with mental health problems.
You will support the Clinical Lead in developing the new innovative Mental Health Single Point of Contact service which will be facilitated though the National 111 service.
You will be an experienced Practitioner who can provide individualised care in line with the organisations core values to deliver a safe and efficient service to those accessing it.
The service will operate 24 hours 7 days a week and you will need to be flexible in your working patterns to meet the service need, which will include out of hours and weekend working.
