Description

The specialist perinatal service (PETALS) are pleased to offer an exciting opportunity for a Mental Health Practitioner (Band 6) with an interest in perinatal mental health or willingness to learn more about working within a specialist perinatal mental health service to join our team on a permanent basis.

PETALS support women experiencing mental health difficulties directly arising from the reproductive/maternity/neonatal/perinatal experience.

Full support and training is available for this specialist role and therefore perinatal experience is not necessarily required. Particularly if you have experience in a previous mental health duty or triage roles.

We are looking to recruit a practitioner from a variety of backgrounds including Registered Mental Health Nurses (RMN), Occupational Therapists (OT) and/or Social Work.

The post holder will be part of a multi-disciplinary team, contributing to the effective provision of psychological therapy and will be part of GMMH's Perinatal Mental and Infant Mental Health Services delivering direct care to an identified caseload.

The role of the Mental Health Practitioner is to receive all calls into the service that require clinical input and be able to provide immediate support, expert advice, signposting service users to the most appropriate service, assessment, and brief interventions where appropriate via telephone.

Risk management and caseload management form a key part of this role.
