Job overview The Staff Mental Health Advisor will form part of the Occupational Health service, delivering proactive, accessible, and timely support for the mental health and wellbeing of NEAS staff. Main duties of the job This specialist role combines clinical expertise and practical workplace support to help staff manage stress, trauma exposure, and other psychological challenges associated with emergency service work.

We have a dedicated clinical assessment service that allows us to provide patients with the most appropriate care from the beginning of the patient journey. We have a specialised branch of the Trust called HART which deal with explosions or terrorist attacks. Ultimately patients are the heart of everything that we do to support our mission of 'safe, effective and responsive care for all'. We value and respect the diversity employees bring to our workplace. We recruit a workforce that reflects the community we serve, and welcome applications from people from all backgrounds. To ensure we deliver on our aims in relation to diversity and inclusion we assess ourselves against a range of frameworks.
