Somerset Foundation Trust, with Somerset system partners, are leading the way on breaking down the barriers to access Mental Health services. This exciting project seeks to widen access to patients who are experiencing mental health and emotional difficulties to ensure that everyone receives the right treatment at the right time.

This post offers a new and exciting opportunity to work within Primary Care Networks, based in GP practices or to work in a blended role across what was traditionally seen as Primary Care and Secondary Care mental health services. Both areas of the service are transforming and learning to work closely together, and this post offers an opportunity to be a key part of those developments as the teams continue to come together as one larger service.

This post will cover Pen Hill surgery, Ryalls Park Medical Centre, Preston Grove Medical Centre, Diamond Health Group and Oaklands Surgery.

- Care Coordinators will work alongside the MHP to support their service users whilst awaiting onward referral
- Opportunity to support patients within residential / nursing homes with mental health concerns as part of an MDT
