Description

Role:
Mental Health ARRS, Practitioner


Salary:
Band 7


Preceptorship:
£1000 on completion


Team:
Ealing Southall MINT


Primary Care Network (PCN): South Southall PCN


Working Hours:
Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, closed Bank Holidays.

Flexible working is available.

An exciting opportunity has become available for an experienced community mental health practitioner.

We are looking for a worker that is passionate about delivering joined up care in partnership with the General Practitioner's (GP) in the South Southall Primary Care Network (PCN).

You will also be working with the Ealing Southall MINT team who are strong believers of population health approaches to tackling health inequalities in the area of Southall.


You will be joining at an exciting time as we continue our journey in delivering the Community Mental Health Framework for Adults and Older Adults.

This framework represents a new approach to situating and providing place-based integrated support, care and treatment in the community for people with mental health problems whatever their level of need.


The Mental Health ARRS role is key to dissolving the barriers that can exist between primary and secondary care, mental health and physical health, social care, voluntary and community social enterprise (VCSE) organisations and local communities, and primary and secondary care, to deliver integrated, personalised, place-based and well-coordinated care for adults and older adults.


We are moving towards a 'whole system' of mental health care, which will provide timely access to support, care and treatment.


As a Mental Health Practitioner in these roles, you will be embedded within the PCN, but employed by West London NHS Trust, and will be key in the development of shared pathways of care between the PCN in which they work and the local MINT team.

You will be an integral part of a wider team of PCN care professionals working under the mentorship of a GP and receiving clinical support through the Trust's MINT Service.

You will work alongside Paramedics, Clinical Pharmacists, Social Prescribers, Physician Associates as well as the wider Mental Health teams allowing you the flexibility to bring in colleagues as needed to support your caseload.


West London NHS Trust is one of the most diverse providers of mental health, community and social care in the UK.

We're rated good overall by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).


Together, we're committed to promoting hope and wellbeing, working with patients, service users, carers, families and partners across the communities we serve.


We are keen to ensure that our workforce reflects the community it serves, particularly in terms of ethnicity, gender, disability, LGBTQ+ and experience of mental illness.


  • Prior experience of working across a range of community mental health settings and with a range of mental health diagnoses/need;
  • Knowledge of and experience in delivering a range of brief interventions to patients with mental health needs;
  • Good written and verbal communication skills and the ability to use these to strengthen local relationships with GPs, Primary Care colleagues and the local MINT Teams
