Pe Teacher jobs in United Kingdom

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.

This role will have an increased focus on older adults. This will mean regularly taking the lead on older adults referred to our service and leading best practice and expertise in older adults amongst the team. Whilst this role will predominantly be focused on older adults referred to our service, there will remain a need to occasionally flex across adults of working age referred to our service as and when required.

This post is open to newly qualified social workers. In line with AWP trust policy all newly qualified social workers (NQSW) will be recruited initially at Band 5 level, regardless of advertised role banding. All NQSW’s are expected to successfully complete their ASYE within 2 years of employment, unless there are exceptional circumstances in which case it may be extended for a further 2 years.

If you have been appointed to an advertised Band 6 role this will be an automatic progression, following confirmation of your successful ASYE completion. If you have been appointed to a Band 5 post you will then be eligible to apply for a subsequent Band 6 vacancy upon successful ASYE completion.

As a Primary Care Liaison Practitioner, your key responsibility will be to complete initial assessments and support conversations for people referred to our service, with a particular focus on older adults. This includes:

• Assessing people’s mental health needs through planned appointments and duty work.
• Managing urgent and routine referrals.
• Formulating safe, effective and person centred plans that connect people with appropriate support.
• Working autonomously to make independent clinical decisions whilst ensuring robust risk management.
• Liaising closely with primary care, secondary mental health services, and voluntary sector organisations.
