Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Full time

Job Overview

As an Advanced Mental Health Practitioner working in the Police Mental Health Joint Response Car (PMHJRC), you will collaborate with Cambridgeshire Constabulary officers to provide an immediate response to individuals experiencing a mental health crisis in the community.

Working a varied shift pattern, including evenings and nights, the PMHJRC responds to calls identified as having a primary mental health need. The Advanced MH Practitioner will conduct a brief triage to determine whether an individual can safely remain at home, avoiding unnecessary hospital attendance, and provide safety planning, signposting, and referrals to mental health services as needed.

Main Duties:

  • Collaborate with Cambridgeshire Constabulary to respond to calls from or concerning individuals in a mental health crisis.
  • Triage mental health presentations, assess need and risk, and develop collaborative plans for follow-up care as appropriate.

Please note that the successful candidate will undergo police vetting as part of the employment checks.
