Tayside Area Psychological Therapies Service

Patient Assessment & Liaison Mental Health Service (PALMS)

Band 6 Community Mental Health Nurse

We are seeking experienced Community Mental Health Nurses to join PALMS, a specialist mental health and wellbeing service based in Dundee GP practices. PALMS provides brief assessment for adults experiencing mental health difficulties, working collaboratively with colleagues from other mental health and wellbeing services, statutory and non-statutory, and alongside the growing Primary Care team.

PALMS clinicians assess and signpost to appropriate self-management resources or third-sector services, provide direct low-intensity brief intervention, or liaise with and refer on to statutory mental health services as needed. They also act as Mental Health Specialists, providing consultation and support to GPs and other Primary Care staff.

PALMS is a valued service for patients and Primary Care staff, helping adults experiencing mental health difficulties access the right support at the right time. As a developing service, this is an exciting opportunity for experienced Mental Health Nurses to get involved and shape mental health and wellbeing services at a community level.

Full training, support, and supervision will be provided. Full or part-time hours will be considered.

PALMS is part of the Dundee Adult Psychological Therapies Service, which has a team of around 160 clinicians and 18 trainees. This is a busy department with close links to the Universities of Dundee, Stirling, Edinburgh, and South of Scotland. Members of the department contribute to teaching, supervision, and training of Clinical Psychology Trainees and Trainee Clinical Associates in Applied Psychology.

We are committed to supporting Continued Professional Development and research, encouraging an active role in service development and partnership working as we build and deliver modern, effective, and innovative services.

Informal inquiries may be directed to Dr Helen Nicholson-Langley, Consultant Clinical Psychologist & Lead Clinician, or Dr Katie Mitchell, Clinical Psychologist.

Hours of work are 37 full-time or part-time hours considered.

Short-listed applicants will be contacted by email. Please check your emails regularly, including your junk/spam folder.
