Description

We have an exciting new opportunity for a B6 clinician to join the Pathfinder clinical service team as part of the Emotional Wellbeing Service developments in Coastal West Sussex.

The post is based in the Chanctonbury area in our experienced and evolving team.

The role involves providing short term clinical interventions for individuals accessing mental health support within the new Emotional Wellbeing Services being developed alongside GP surgeries as part of the Community Transformation plan in West Sussex within a countywide model.

The clinician in this role will work closely alongside voluntary sector mental health services based in GP surgeries providing clinical consultation, advice and intervention as needed.

The focus of interventions will be on offering timely proactive, preventative clinical support and facilitating transitions between NHS and voluntary sector mental health services.

Our team has received national recognition for innovation and improving access to mental health support in the community.

The team iscited in the new NHS 'Community Mental Health Framework for Adults and Older Adults' document as an example of a team demonstrating 'Innovative ways of working' (pg 19).

We were also featured in the Royal College of Occupational Therapy strategy document, 'Getting my Life back:
OT promoting mental health and well-being in England' (2018 pg
