Provide a psychologically-minded service to referred individuals with common mental health problems, stable severe mental health conditions, emotional distress and/or behavioural difficulties that is comprehensive, accessible, responsive, age and ability inclusive, and that focuses on recovery and outcomes. Ensure the service user receives a full part one mental health assessment, with a clear formulation as direction for the intervention to be undertaken. This will be a significant part of the role.
Work in partnership with individuals and others to ascertain the mental health, wellbeing and social needs of referred individuals.
Work in partnership with individuals and others to ascertain the mental health, wellbeing and social needs of referred individuals.
Work collaboratively with individuals and others to co-produce a shared
understanding of the individual’s needs (the formulation), and to jointly develop a plan on the basis of this. The formulation should take-into-account biological / physical, social and psychological factors, and the preferred lifestyle and aspirations of the individual.
Provide service user centred care by negotiating achievable and meaningful goals. Ensure formulation at assessment stage is clear and robust for practitioners to then follow what intervention is required which may include group work.

Powys Teaching Health Board is responsible for meeting the health and wellbeing needs of the people of Powys, mid Wales. As a rural health board with around 133,000 people living across an area that is a quarter of Wales, we provide as many services as possible locally. This is mainly through GPs and other primary care services, community hospitals and community services. As we don’t have a District General Hospital, we work closely with other organisations in Wales and England to provide services for the people of Powys. We always strive to deliver as many services in Powys as possible including assessment and follow ups after treatment. The health board also works closely with Powys County Council and the voluntary sector to meet the needs of the community.
