Job Introduction

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Mental Health Practitioner to join our team at Turning Point, providing support to individuals living in Wakefield. This role will work closely with our Principal Practitioner Psychologist to develop bespoke support and care packages for individuals with Dual Diagnosis needs. The successful candidate will link closely with Mental Health Services within the District to ensure disadvantaged Service Users access necessary support for their well-being.

Inspiring Recovery, Inspiring Futures and Inspiring Families consists of nurses, project workers and support workers, working collaboratively to provide resources that enable people to build upon their recovery and achieve their goals. We work closely with community mental and physical health services to ensure people have the best chance of success.

Role Responsibilities

We aspire to work in true partnership with our service users, encouraging everyone to reach their full potential, while maintaining their optimum level of independence in the community. Ultimately, our aim is to maintain daily living skills alongside psycho-social interventions necessary to equip people to live more independently in the community with confidence.

As part of this role, you will develop and have line management responsibility for a number of key roles linked to Safeguarding, including the named Safeguarding Leads. You will also support recovery workers with assessments and formulations, complete referrals to relevant mental health services, and advocate for clients' admissions to these services. This includes liaising with partner agencies to ensure the removal of barriers preventing dual diagnosis clients from accessing mental health services.

The role requires a good understanding and ability to assess and manage risks related to both mental health difficulties and substance consumption. You will attend monthly complex case meetings to review clients' mental health needs with other professionals.

The Ideal Candidate

We are looking for someone who understands the importance of recovery and is passionate about seeing people achieve their best. The ideal candidate will have a Doctorate in Clinical, Counselling or Forensic Psychology or RMN or CQSW/DipSW or Occupational Therapist, with an understanding of recovery models/approaches and a good understanding of mental health issues and the way in which they are managed. You will also have experience of working in the community, although this is not essential. As a part of your role, you will be expected to travel across different areas to support our service users and staff, hence holding a driving license and having access to a car are strongly desirable.

In return for your hard work, dedication and commitment, we can offer the opportunity to grow, learn and develop as a practitioner in an environment that is focused on recovery and collaborative MDT working, as well as monthly clinical supervision.

We know reward looks different to each person and so whether it's ways to make your money go further, a culture supporting recognition and celebration, or opportunities to boost your career - we want to support you in every way we can with our total reward package that includes:

  • Comprehensive learning and development opportunities so we can invest in your future, with a blended approach of self-lead learning, experiential learning or more formal learning opportunities.
  • 31 days' paid holiday a year, increasing with each year of service up to 33 days. Plus the option to buy additional holidays.
  • An exclusive discounts hub for TP colleagues, to help make your money go further - including high street shopping, pubs and restaurants, mobile phones, gym memberships, and much more. You'll also have access to the Blue Light Card, for even more discounts and savings
  • Flexible working solutions to support your work-life balance.
  • Life Assurance of up to 3x annual salary and a competitive Pension Scheme to support your savings and security.
  • Access to our Rightsteps Therapy service - free, confidential telephone-based counselling sessions, access to an online wellbeing platform, and a Financial Education hub to support your total wellbeing.
  • A 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme including a Digital GP, legal advice and more - all free to you and your immediate family.
