Would you like to work for an established non-profit organisation that has great values, offers brilliant benefits, and takes a person-centred approach to everything they do?
Improve outcomes for people struggling to access wellbeing and community services by working with primary care clinical staff to provide short-term, targeted, and holistic support.
The Mental Health Support Coordinator (MHSC) Service works in close partnership with Primary and Secondary Clinical Services and other key providers in the area to ensure integrated pathways for clients, particularly those who face more complex situations. The service will bring together the PCN, Southdown, and Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, working in partnership through a multidisciplinary team approach.
Your Responsibilities:
1. Providing short-term support to a caseload of clients with complex needs, utilizing a strength-based and person-centred approach to help them engage and achieve their outcomes.
2. Improving patient wellbeing by increasing access to non-clinical services using motivational and coaching techniques.
3. Facilitating smooth pathways into services through advocacy, effective communication, and collaborative working with services.
4. Promoting and supporting the implementation and development of the service by building and maintaining professional relationships in GP practices and attending relevant meetings.
5. Using GP and partners’ IT systems to record and monitor client information while managing a caseload of patients.
To succeed in this role, you will need an excellent understanding of complex mental health needs and wellbeing, with experience supporting this client group or equivalent transferable skills, along with a genuine passion for helping people explore their needs. You will receive a comprehensive induction followed by regular training – we will invest in you to provide all the tools you need to succeed. You will join a supportive, flexible team and work for one of the leading providers of mental health services in Sussex.
