Job overview:

An Exciting opportunity has arisen to join our Primary Mental Health Team in North Cornwall, under the employment of Cornwall Foundation Trust.

The North Cornwall PCN practises include Port Isaac Surgery, Wadebridge and Camel Estuary Medical Practise and Bottreaux Surgery.

Our Surgeries are friendly supportive and already have a broad range of clinical staff focused on delivering a high standard of patient care.

The aims of this role will be to:

Deliver improved access to a broader range of care options by offering timely and expert assessment.
Aim to include evidence informed approaches that are known to impact on both mental and physical health.
Reduce referrals to specialist services to enable earlier interventions that will improve patient experience and outcomes.

In a supportive partnership the PCN & CFT want to achieve care that is joined up, patient centred, trauma informed, place based (locality hub) where practitioners and communities collaborate optimising community assets.

By reducing repeated assessments and addressing the needs of those with complex emotional needs earlier and locally, we can reduce distress and work with those with early adversity to have more meaningful and active lives, focusing on what matters to the person.

This then enables secondary care to offer expert treatment to those with severe mental illness.

Main duties of the job:

The post holder will be based and embedded within a Primary Care Network (PCN) working with GPs, practice nurses and other Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS) workers e.g., social prescribers, health and wellbeing coaches, care co-ordinators, as part of the primary care Multidisciplinary Team (MDT).

They will work with primary care GPs to manage the mental health needs of their population at the point
of contact. This includes those with lower-level support requirements that can be met within primary care, working with the Primary Care.

The role will act as interface between primary care and wider mental health services and:

To provide rapid and responsive assessment, signposting and brief treatment to individuals referred to the service by several routes including self-referrals and General Practitioners.
To provide support to Primary Care staff in the local management of patients with common mental health problems.
To ensure that people are quickly and efficiently supported to access the most appropriate treatment for their mental health difficulty
