Colchester, United Kingdom Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We are a developing service and our aim is to transform the way mental health support is delivered in North East Essex. We are a team that respect and value diversity, and innovation and have the passion to constantly evolve our practice, always striving for better.

Our ambition is to deliver a first class offering to people in their communities and we want you to be a part of that ongoing vision. This will include working closely with the North East Essex Health and Wellbeing Alliance. The Alliance brings together local authorities in North East Essex (Colchester and Tendring) with other commissioners and providers of health and wellbeing services, such as the NHS, County Council Social Services, and the voluntary and community sector, working together to tackle not just ill-health, but the causes of ill-health by having joint goals of reducing inequalities and creating healthy, resilient communities for everyone. As part of Live Well we promote healthy living in communities and families across Colchester and Tendring to improve physical and mental well being

If you share our passion to put the patient at the centre of all we do, then you could be our next practitioner.

As a Primary Care Mental Health Practitioner, you will be a highly skilled and motivated Mental Health Professional and be part of the Enhanced Primary Care team at the forefront of establishing this innovative development in Primary Care Mental Health Services. As a highly competent and proficient practitioner, you will be able to work autonomously and be confident in your ability to provide evidence based psychological and non-psychological treatments for common mental health disorders.

This will be in the context of a wider programme of mental health service transformation aimed at creating more capacity and supporting services to become more inclusive and accessible, by removing boundaries between services and organising care based on individual need. The role will actively change the way that services are designed & delivered for people experiencing severe and multiple disadvantages in Colchester and Tendering.

- Season Ticket Loans
- NHS discounts for staff
- Excellent Training facilities and opportunities
