Join to apply for the Primary Care Mental Health Practitioner role at Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust.
This is an exciting opportunity for dynamic people to join us and build on the existing multi-disciplinary PCN (Primary Care Network) teams to support the mental health and well-being needs of local communities.
You will be employed by Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership Trust but embedded within a group of GP practices with a focus on supporting local patients living across North Warwickshire.
These roles are directly patient-facing, so you will have a meaningful impact on improving access, experience, and outcomes for service users daily.
Responsibilities include:
1. Acting as a Liaison worker between Secondary Care Mental Health Provider and Primary Care.
2. Supporting clinical decisions and discussions for patients not known to SCMH services or those open to Community mental health services.
3. Reviewing patients in primary care and assessing where their needs can be best met.
4. Supporting discussions on patients in primary care who have been discharged or not engaged with SCMH services.
5. Offering brief interventions to people with mental health needs who do not need a referral into SCMH services.
6. Working closely with social prescribers and other professionals within the PCN multi-disciplinary team.
7. Developing and maintaining collaborative links with the third sector to provide clinical advice and support.
8. Providing one day per week with each GP surgery in the PCN and attending Multi-Disciplinary Team Meetings.
We care for you as much as you care for others, offering support services and benefits to promote staff wellbeing and a good work-life balance, including flexible working.
