We are looking for a Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner to join our amazing DBI National team.

A Distress Brief Intervention (DBI) is a time limited and supportive problem-solving contact with an individual in distress.

We are part of a new approach to DBI, working with the NHS24 Mental Health Hub to support people experiencing distress. Along with SAMH, Support in Mind Scotland and some local providers in Lanarkshire, we are providing a telephone/video support service for people across Scotland.

The service receives referrals from the NHS24 Mental Health Hub, Scottish Ambulance Service and Police Scotland contact centers (DBI Level 1). The service (DBI Level 2) then responds by contacting the referred person within 24 hours to discuss their particular issues and the support that can be provided. Support is available for up to 14 days from first contact. Specific training will be given to all staff providing this service to ensure we provide a consistent, connected, compassionate, approach. It is envisaged that currently all support will be provided via telephone/video.

This is an exciting opportunity to join the further development of the DBI approach, which has widely been recognised as innovative and pioneering.

The Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner will play a central role in the planning and provision of quality, recovery focused support to people who use the service. The DBI team is wide spread across Scotland and Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioners are expected to work autonomously across the service keeping service systems and process’ up to date as required including data collection, supported people records and integral service communication tools.

We can offer you a tonne of employee benefits, and we can promise you’ll be inspired by some pretty amazing humans every single day. We will support you on your own career path; developing new skills, accessing formal and informal learning experiences and providing opportunities to put your continual progress into practice.

Please refer to the attached Recruitment Pack for full job description and person specification.

**Benefits**
- Flexible working
- Cycle to work scheme
- Confidential Employee Assistance Programme, offering free counselling for you and your family
- Employee Discount Scheme
- Death in Service benefits
- Full training and professional development

And so much more
