Job description

We have a fantastic opportunity for a Band 7 Non-Medical Prescriber to cover maternity leave and lead clinical practice for our Great Yarmouth and Waveney Access and Assessment Team (AAT).

Please note this is a fixed-term role of 6 months to cover maternity leave.

AAT is the front door to all our adult mental health services in Great Yarmouth and Waveney. The team provides community-based services to adults over 25 in the market towns of Great Yarmouth and Waveney. We screen, triage, and assess all referrals into secondary care via face-to-face, online, and telephone appointments.

It is an exciting time to join us as we embark on a new venture with our partners, working towards a truly integrated service model under motivated and supportive leadership.

We are based at Oaktree, Northgate Hospital Great Yarmouth, and work across the Waveney area. You will have a varied workload and be supported by the wider multidisciplinary team (MDT).

We are looking for professionals who are caring, supportive, and reflective in their practice. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!

Main Duties of the Job

• Deliver clinical interventions.
• Work as a non-medical prescriber.
• Offer support, supervision, and informal training to colleagues.
• Contribute to MDT meetings.
• Undertake other clinical tasks within the team.

The ideal candidate will have experience supporting working-age adults with mental health difficulties in the community. You should have a good understanding of the Care Programme Approach and demonstrate risk management skills. You will be involved in triage and assessment, managing referrals from GP surgeries and other local services.

We foster excellent relationships with statutory and non-statutory partners to develop recovery-based care plans. Opportunities for joint working, career development, and training are plentiful, supported by a clear appraisal structure.

At NSFT, we pride ourselves on being a welcoming, talented, friendly, and supportive team that values sharing experiences and learning from each other. We offer ongoing training and development opportunities in a thriving environment.

Why work for us?

Despite challenges, we have ambitious aspirations, exciting transformation projects, and need dedicated individuals to support our journey. Our strong professional networks and leadership team ensure you are well cared for and supported.

Why Norfolk and Suffolk?

The people here are warm and welcoming. You’ll be close to beautiful coastlines and the Broads National Park. Norwich has an international airport, and the area offers rich history, independent cafes, shops, theatres, excellent shopping, dining, top schools, and affordable housing.
