3 weeks ago
Description
An exciting opportunity has arisen for dedicated and enthusiastic mental health practitioners to join our growing team of multidisciplinary clinicians providing care to patients within the Primary Care Network (PCN) footprints of Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.
These are pivotal roles working across primary and specialist services within an integrated community mental health model.
In Nottingham and Nottinghamshire there are 23 PCNs with a variety of different sizes, patient populations and mental health priorities.
During 2021, each PCN will have at least one mental health practitioner providing a named clinician for the GP practices within that locality.
The posts will be co-located within the PCN and be responsible for providing specialist mental health care and interventions to patients within the PCN using high level assessment to understand needs, treatment options, refer appropriately and co-ordinate the patient's journey across the health, social care and voluntary sector system, regardless of care setting.
Its essential that these posts forge close working relationships with a range of professionals both within the PCN and local Mental Health Trust to enable comprehensive and patient centred care plans to be developed and delivered.
We have a huge variety of opportunities in our expansive Trust covering geographically from South Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire to Leicester, providing mental health inpatient and community services, community health services, forensic mental health services and secure prison healthcare across the East Midlands.
We have more than 100 sites and a huge scope of unique opportunities to develop your career and gain some amazing experiences.
We strive to be a great place to work and offer many staff benefits and tailored staff support and wellbeing programmes.
