This role is ideal for proactive and passionate individuals interested in innovation and delivering high-quality mental health support within a primary care setting. It offers a fantastic opportunity to develop your career and skills in an innovative and creative environment.

The practitioner will be embedded within the Primary Care Network, working across three practices as part of the team. They will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and maintain close links with the Community Mental Health Team and Steps to Wellbeing Service. Responsibilities include triage, assessment, interventions, and leading the development and delivery of specialist mental health training within the practice.

This role promotes collaboration between Primary and Secondary Mental Health Services as part of an Integrated Model of Care, focusing on local communities and GP practices to rebuild and strengthen healthcare teams. It involves providing targeted care, early assessment, treatment, and facilitating access to appropriate care pathways, including secondary care and third-sector services.
