Main Responsibilities

As a Mental Health Practitioner, you will be responsible for providing community-based engagement and assessment to clients with complex mental health and substance misuse needs. You will work closely with mental health and addiction services, as well as council staff, drug and alcohol workers, police, and homeless outreach workers to provide mental health support to rough sleepers.

We provide inpatient and community-based mental health care for people living in Bolton, Manchester, Salford, Trafford, and Wigan, as well as specialist mental health and substance misuse services across Greater Manchester and beyond.

We are committed to providing high-quality care and support to our service users, and we are seeking a dedicated and compassionate individual to join our team.

Person Specification

We are looking for a qualified Mental Health Practitioner with experience of working in a community setting and a strong understanding of mental health and dual diagnosis. You will have a qualification in a relevant profession and post-qualification experience working with complex mental health needs.

Applicants are encouraged to apply for this role if they have direct experience of mental health, learning disability, or drug and alcohol services either as a service user or a carer. We are committed to safeguarding children, young people, and vulnerable adults and require all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
