    Job summary

    The No Wrong Door service is an innovative and exciting opportunity to provide a bridge between Primary Care, Community Mental Health services and Substance Use services.

    For too long, people who have co-occurring conditions have been referred around between services, none of which meets their overall needs for support.

    No Wrong Door aims to change this by using a person-centred approach to ensure that appropriate agencies are involved in a person's care when they need it the most.

    These vacancies have arisen as a result of an unmet need identified for those members of the public who struggle with the co-occurring conditions of poor mental health and substance use.

    At MPFT we pride ourselves on staff wellbeing and development and can we offer you:

    Counselling support and lifestyle information with advice on a variety of personal matters

    The opportunity to purchase additional annual leave

    Opportunities for flexible working (depending on the role)

    Career development opportunities and coaching plus access to in house training programs

    Innovative research training program entitled STARS (Supporting the advancement of Research Skills)

    Child Care Vouchers Scheme

    Main duties of the job

  • Advocating for clients with partner agencies
  • Embracing the concept of recovery and demonstrating this in your clinical work
