Band 6

As one of the 12 ‘early implementer’ sites for integrated community mental health services, we are expanding our community mental health offer. Our new services are centred around the Primary Care Networks and aim for comprehensive engagement with Integrated Care Systems using a whole person, whole population health approach.

The model utilizes all available community resources including health, social care, Voluntary Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organizations, and local communities, considering resources to support wellbeing outside of mental health services alone.

These new teams enable and support people to access mental health services whenever and wherever they need it, supporting individuals to manage their mental health within their local community. We are looking for skilled and enthusiastic individuals.

This role offers an exciting opportunity for an innovative Mental Health Practitioner within each borough. Employed by West London NHS Trust, you will be key in developing care pathways within the local community mental health team (MINT). The role also offers mentorship, career progression, and continued education opportunities.

We are seeking applications from Registered Mental Health Nurses with experience working in community services.

The Ideal Candidate Will Have

• Prior experience working across various community mental health settings with diverse mental health diagnoses/needs;
• Knowledge and experience in delivering a range of brief interventions to patients with mental health needs;
• Good written and verbal communication skills to strengthen local relationships with MINT Teams.

West London NHS Trust is one of the most diverse healthcare providers in the UK, delivering mental health, physical healthcare, and community services.

The Trust is rated ‘Good’ overall by the Care Quality Commission, with forensic services rated ‘Outstanding’. We actively participate in the development of the North West London Integrated Care System and lead the NW London Children and Adolescent Mental Health provider collaborative.
