Join to apply for the Mental Health Practitioner role at Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust

Are you passionate about supporting mothers, birthing people and their babies during the perinatal period?

Join our compassionate and dynamic team, where you’ll play a key role in delivering thoughtful and personalised mental health care.

This role offers the opportunity to make a real difference by providing tailored mental health support for women and birthing people whom experience moderate to severe and complex mental health challenges during the perinatal period.

This is a rewarding role where you’ll be part of a dedicated, multi-disciplinary team working to improve the emotional wellbeing of women and birthing people during the perinatal period and promote healthy, secure attachments between mothers and their babies.

We’re committed to improving awareness and raising standards of care across both universal and specialist services, ensuring mothers and their babies receive the support they need during this important time.

The post holder will provide compassionate, evidence-based care to an identified caseload of women, delivering tailored interventions that support maternal mental health and early parent-infant relationships. You will play a vital role in ensuring that care is safe, inclusive, and responsive to the diverse needs of the women and families we serve.

Our team works at the intersection of physical and mental health, bringing together professionals from a range of backgrounds to support families across the perinatal pathway. You’ll collaborate with maternity services, GPs, health visitors, social care, and voluntary sector partners to ensure care is joined-up, high-quality, and accessible.

As part of your role, you’ll contribute to safeguarding, support early identification and triage of referrals, provide specialist advice, and help plan and coordinate care packages that are integrated across services. You’ll also have the opportunity to contribute to service development, staff training, student mentoring, and clinical supervision, helping to shape the future of perinatal mental health care within the Trust and beyond.

This is more than just a job — it’s a chance to truly make a difference during one of the most critical times in a person’s life. If you are committed to holistic, person-centred care and want to be part of a service that values compassion, collaboration, and continuous learning, we would love to hear from you.

Mersey Care is one of the largest trusts providing physical health and mental health services in the North West, serving more than 1.4 million people across our region and are also commissioned for services that cover the North West, North Wales and the Midlands.

We offer specialist inpatient and community services that support physical and mental health and specialist inpatient mental health, learning disability, addiction and brain injury services. Mersey Care is one of only three trusts in the UK that offer high secure mental health facilities.

At the heart of all we do is our commitment to ‘perfect care’ – care that is safe, effective, positively experienced, timely, equitable and efficient. We support our staff to do the best job they can and work alongside service users, their families, and carers to design and develop future services together. We’re currently delivering a programme of organisational and service transformation to significantly improve the quality of the services we provide and safely reduce cost as we do so.

Flexible working requests will be considered for all roles.
