An exciting opportunity has arisen for a full-time Band 7 Non-Medical Prescriber to join our Neighbourhood Mental Health Team in the South Birmingham area to support the Primary Care Network (PCN), Harborne.
Our community mental health services are well-established teams and as part of the BSOL community transformation programme, we are looking to increase our primary care teams with these roles, focusing on a presence alongside GP colleagues within PCNs. This is an exciting opportunity to be at the heart of national change and developments in the delivery of community mental health care. The development of our Primary Care mental health team is an essential service which we are in the process of evolving in line with the NHS Long Term Plan.
Main duties of the job
We are looking for enthusiastic and dynamic individuals who are able to work within a multi-disciplinary team, working alongside other professionals and striving for the best outcomes for individuals within the local community that the team serves.

You will be responsible for identifying need and the best course of advice, support, or intervention.

Crucial to this role will be your ability to ensure robust communication across FTB/BSMHFT and primary care in accordance with each individual service user's needs by providing support and advice to all colleagues within the PCN as required including participation within the local neighbourhood MDTs.
