If you are passionate about delivering innovative mental health care, like a challenge working as part of a diverse primary care team and being part of wider system change, then this could be the post for you.

RDaSH NHS Foundation Trust in partnership with Primary Care Networks and Voluntary Community and Social Enterprises have an exciting opportunity for enthusiastic, motivated and caring First Contact Mental Health Practitioner to work within the expanding Primary Care Networks across RDASH and local communities in Rotherham.

We know that the first contact with services for emotional and mental health support is the most important part of the journey to recovery. We see this new role as fundamental to the development of innovative and integrated mental health services within our local community. The role will help us achieve our shared ambition of 'no wrong door' and the delivery of the right care, in the right place, at the right time, and with the right service. You will provide an assessment, formulation and triage role and function.

We are looking for Mental Health Practitioners with exceptional knowledge and experience in mental health assessment and management to provide high quality care at a local level. You will work autonomously screening and triaging and will undertake mental health assessments and arrange follow up in Primary Care as appropriate, to provide therapeutic interventions.

This is a new, exciting and innovative post to support the needs of the local adult and aging population living with a range of mental health difficulties. The role holder will fulfil a first contact specialist mental health role across the PCNs. The role holder will work in a collaborative and multi-agency way. You will have access to a range of staff including RDaSH staff working into GP practices and "bridge" primary and secondary care.

The post will facilitate the interface between Primary Care and Secondary Mental Health Services to provide specialist advice and support, assessment, treatment, education and solution-focused approaches to the local Primary Care Teams, for patients and carers.

The role will offer expertise in networking and navigation to promote ease of access to a range of specialist mental health support services. This ensures that each person, once assessed, receives the best possible care in the right place at the right time and by the right supporting service.

The post holder will be an effective member of the multi-disciplinary team. They will be professionally accountable and responsible for patient care, undertaking initial assessment with signposting to appropriate services, or providing time-limited psycho-social therapeutic interventions.

You will work in the context of local and national drivers providing clinical care for identification of individual needs which essentially supports diagnosis and treatment options.
