Job overview
In Rotherham, we have an exciting opportunity to recruit a peripatetic Mental Health Clinical Practitioner, fixed term for 12 months to work across the 6 PCN's in Rotherham while being employed by RDaSH through the ARRS (Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme).
We are seeking a Mental Health Practitioner who can make a difference to patient care by providing high-quality interventions in our new primary care integrated mental health service. You will be an important member of the primary care team, liaising with primary, secondary care, and VCSE colleagues.
Applicants will work within the Rotherham PCN areas with requirements to travel between practices, so the ability to travel across Rotherham is advantageous.
The practitioner will be embedded as part of the Primary Care Network Multi-Disciplinary Team and will have access to a wide range of support and expertise across the network patch. The focus of the practitioner’s work will generally be on people whose needs can be met in Primary Care. If the needs can no longer be met within the primary care pathway, the practitioner can facilitate onward access to secondary care-based services or third sector services integrated within the mental health pathway.

* Participate in primary care practice level meetings, including those involving serious concerns, i.e., safeguarding and risk management.
* Be effective in multi-professional team working and service transformation.
* Provide a comprehensive Primary Mental Health Nursing Service across the whole range of patients, mainly via clinics and one-to-one interactions with service users, including the provision of bio-psycho-social assessment and treatment delivery, including the role of Independent Non-medical Prescribing.
* Practice autonomously and be a confident decision maker.
