Job Role
Mental health practitioners contribute to the NHS Long Term Plan ambition to develop new and integrated models of primary and community mental health care, to support adults and older adults with severe mental illnesses to live well in their communities.
Community mental health transformation defines those severely affected by mental illness, including but not limited to; psychosis, bipolar disorder, 'personality disorder' diagnosis, eating disorders, severe depression and mental health rehabilitation needs - some of which may be co-existing with other conditions such as frailty, cognitive impairment, neurodevelopmental conditions, or substance use.
These roles were introduced to the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS) of the Network Contract DES in April 2021, enabling professionals with mental health expertise to be based in GP surgeries or neighbourhood settings, to support people with complex mental health needs and act as a 'bridge' between primary care and specialist mental health services.
These roles sit alongside NHS Talking Therapies for anxiety and depression, and a range of other roles within primary care that provide mental health support.
Mental health practitioners provide GPs and other primary care staff with timely support and advice, helping to relieve pressure on workloads and build stronger relationships with mental health services.
Local areas can tailor the role to meet their needs, and we advise areas to consult with people with lived experience about the kind of support that will be most useful to them.
To enable areas to meet local needs, a mental health practitioner role can be taken on by a wide range of staff with mental health expertise (ranging from Band 4-8a).
This includes, but is not limited to:
- Peer support workers
- Community psychiatric nurses
- Clinical psychologists
- Mental health social workers
- Mental health occupational therapists
- Mental health community connectors
