Description
Are you a reliable, committed, dynamic, and motivated professional with excellent communication, organisational skills, and the ability to prioritise work?

Blandford Community Mental Health team seeks a Band 6 Community Mental Health Practitioner.

As a Mental Health Practitioner, you will provide care delivery which considers people's safety, privacy, and dignity.

You will provide interventions, assessments, and treatments, manage patients on a caseload and plan, implement and review health improvement programmes in a range of settings.

You will work within a supportive established integrated multi-disciplinary team.

This team is made up of a Psychiatrist, Nurse prescriber, Mental Health Practitioner, Social Workers, OTs, Support Time Recovery Workers and Psychologists.


The Community Mental Health Practitioner role is full-time Monday to Friday and based in Blandford and covers the surrounding villages.

You will need to have a valid driving licence and use of a car as you will be required to assess and monitor patients in their own homes and within other community settings.


At Dorset HealthCare we're on a mission to empower people to make the most of their lives through our outstanding, joined-up healthcare services.

We're a dynamic, forward-looking Trust, running 12 community hospitals, specialist inpatient facilities and a wide range of integrated community and mental health services for a population of almost 800,000 people.

We do things differently here - it's one of the reasons the CQC rated us 'outstanding' in 2019.

It's also why 95% of patients across our services say they have a good or very good experience of our services and 89% of staff feel they can really make a difference.

Whether you're looking to work with us in one of our bustling market towns, vibrant urban locations, thriving seaside spots, or among the rolling hills of Dorset, there are lots of ways you can make a difference in our communities.


Our 7,000-strong workforce is at the heart of what we do, and our success is a testament to our brilliant people.

We're all about building a workplace for the future, we believe in equal opportunities, and we celebrate diversity.

We're an inclusive workplace, where everyone is welcome, everyone can be authentic, and we are all encouraged to be the best version of ourselves.


Working with us you'll be part of a strong team, challenge yourself, build a career, and teach us what we don't know.

And you'll be working towards our vision to be better every day through excellence, compassion, and expertise in all we do.
