One Full-time position and One Part-time 15.0 hours per week
Our Primary Care Mental Health Service is an award-winning service, receiving national interest as a new and innovative way of working in Primary Care. Based in GP practices and Neighbourhood teams we ensure that those with mental health needs are seen at the right time, in the right place, by the right people.
We’re looking for enthusiastic Band 6 Primary Care MH Practitioners, who hold NMC or HCPC registration, to join us. We currently have two vacancies covering Cambridgeshire area, including the city of Cambridge.
YOU
Have excellent communication skills and the ability to complete robust clinical assessments independently.
Enjoy a new challenge, variety in your work, working in a passionate and driven team striving to make a difference for our community.
Would like to be part of the exciting Community Transformation Programme.
WE
Are a compassionate, supportive and professional service that will actively support your growth and development as a senior member of the team.
Achieve and always seek to be the best we can be through teamwork and a clear vision.
Working alongside a Mental Health Liaison Practitioner you will work across the interface between Primary Care and Mental Health Services to facilitate mental health assessment in primary care and support GPs with joint decision making in relation to secondary care referrals, signposting, and transition of service users from secondary mental health services back to Primary Care. Your expertise will help inform GPs management plans for those with mental health needs in primary care.
By providing support, education and problem-solving approaches for adults of working age, you will be an active member of the primary care team with the ability to undertake very short-term interventions for clients with mild to moderate mental health difficulties.
