Our Primary Care Liaison Team is at the heart of connecting people with the right support at the right time.

We provide initial assessments and support conversations for people who may require secondary mental health services. Working closely with GPs, voluntary sector organizations, and both primary and secondary care, we ensure that people receive tailored, compassionate, and effective care. For example, we may meet someone who we then signpost on to support available within primary care. Or we may think that someone requires a period of support from secondary mental health services and refer them on.

This role is perfect for those who thrive in a dynamic, collaborative environment and want to be part of a team that values clinical expertise, holistic support, and person-centred care. If you're looking for a rewarding role where you can develop your skills, build strong professional relationships, and positively impact people’s lives, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply today and be part of a team that truly makes a difference.
