Population Health Nurse

The Community Mental Health Services are undergoing widespread, innovative transformation and investment over the next two years. North London Foundation Trust are at the forefront of this transformation, developing a more holistic, recovery oriented, biopsychosocial approach to support people with their mental health, in partnership with primary care, other community NHS providers and the voluntary sector. The aim is to build support systems that reach the whole mental health population with a focus on prevention and sustained recovery delivered by multiagency collaboration. Each population unit is based on the footprint of Primary Care Networks, bringing together NHS, voluntary sector, peer support and community organisations. These relationships will be central to the new community mental health model.

The Population Health Nurse role will support with driving a community and population health approach to the team's work within a locality, forging partnerships and close relationships with GPs and key local stakeholders. This will support a joined-up approach to supporting the wellbeing of residents and developing a system-wide approach to prevention.
