Main Duties

As a Senior Mental Health Practitioner, you will conduct biopsychosocial assessments and initial conversations with individuals presenting with mental health difficulties, social care needs, and risk issues at a primary care level. Your aim will be to promote recovery and help individuals maintain their lives within their community environment.

Key Responsibilities

You will assess risk, devise risk management plans with service users as part of the Duty function, promoting self-management to enable service users' engagement with other parts of LWT and offering advice to colleagues where necessary. Additionally, you will offer brief interventions, including devising coping strategies, problem-solving, motivational and behavioural activation work, anxiety management, risk management, and suicide prevention work, medication support, promoting social and interagency support, providing psychological support and biopsychosocial education aimed at insight development, promoting self-help through resources and signposting, and reviewing treatment plans with service users deemed too complex for other parts of LWT or who may not meet the criteria for secondary care services.

About Us

We are a 9-5 Monday to Friday service, offering flexible working opportunities, with hours negotiable. Our team is continually seeking service development opportunities and welcomes an enthusiastic, motivated, and caring Practitioner to join our busy and supportive team in Tameside & Glossop.

Job Responsibilities

You will be an integral part of a Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) that meets regularly to actively case manage patients who present with multiple complex needs. You will complete mental health and risk assessments to identify patients' needs and provide short-term, low-level interventions to prevent escalation and crisis.

Essential Skills and Abilities

Comprehensive mental health and risk assessment skills, ability to deliver evidence-based interventions, excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, ability to form productive working relationships with service users, carers, and multi-disciplinary staff, and good organisational and prioritisation skills are essential.
