About the Role

The Avon & Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust is seeking a dedicated and compassionate Mental Health Support Practitioner to join our team.

  • Contribute to the planning, implementation, and review of care packages, including implementing specific parts of an individual care plan on behalf of different care professionals.
  • Promote continuity of care by maintaining regular contact with service users during episodes of inpatient treatment, liaising closely with the ward/hospital, and facilitating early discharge when possible.
  • Maintain accurate, confidential records of patient activity, writing reports and letters as required.
  • Enable people to understand and manage their mental health needs in line with their care plan and relapse prevention strategies.
  • Support individuals in developing and maintaining their identity and personal relationships, including those that may be difficult or potentially challenging.
  • Enabling people to explore a range of behavioural responses and to develop coping strategies in liaison with appropriate specialist teams.
  • Contribute to the protection of individuals from abuse and harm in line with local policies and procedures.
