This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Mental Health Practitioner to help establish better access to dedicated mental health support in local community settings. This role needs someone who is proactive and passionate about innovative new ways of working and a holistic approach to caring for people in need of mental health support.

In Oxfordshire we are working in partnership to improve community mental health services and plug the gaps between primary and secondary care. Your role will be crucial to developing strong partnership working relationships between, other primary, secondary and third sector mental health support services at a community level.

As part of surgery Multi-Disciplinary Teams (MDT) you will provide triage, assessment and mental health advice to patients presenting at their GP surgery. Your role will support primary care in offering enhanced support to patients with mental health conditions, facilitating early intervention, supporting recovery and helping them to live well in their community.

5. To provide a navigation role to help GP’s make appropriate referrals to the relevant community and secondary care services - bridging the gap between primary care services such as IAPT and secondary care, working in partnership across the system

You will be based within the OX3+ Primary Care Network (PCN) which is a collaboration between Hedena Health Ltd and The Manor Surgery. You will work on a day-to-day basis out of the GP surgeries and will be accountable to the PCN leadership in a matrix management style.
