Description

An exciting opportunity has arisen for Mental Health & Wellbeing Practitioners to support the crisis response unscheduled care within Community Mental Health Teams, CMHT's across the East Locality.

These posts hold a key role within the Mental Health Team's Crises Response Service and will be the first point of contact for people who may require urgent mental health support.

Mental Health & Wellbeing Practitioners provide effective mental health support to people calling the service who may be experiencing a mental health crisis.

This may include triage and risk assessments, and brief psychosocial interventions.

Working via telephone, face to face and video calls, Mental Health & Wellbeing Practitioners will provide effective emotional support for people through the use of compassionate conversations and, when appropriate, encourage and guide effective self-management of emotional distress and be able to recognise when a person requires more support than is possible to be delivered over the phone, such as a crisis mental health assessment or ongoing support and be confident to make the necessary arrangements to facilitate this with an appropriate registrant, clinician, service or organisation.

Working within a multidisciplinary mental health care team, with a varying composition, the post holder must be able to communicate effectively and professionally with a range of people, including people in distress, their families and carers, professionals contacting the service and colleagues.

The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; English and/or Welsh speakers are equally welcome to apply.
