Description

The West Sussex Wellbeing Service is recruiting to a Band 6 Nursing / OT / Social Work role in its new Primary Care Network (PCN) mental health teams in Burgess Hill and Hayward Heath. The EWS aims to provide GPs with fast access to mental health expertise at the right level, preventing further escalation in need.


The people we work with are usually unable to access IAPT services, but may not meet the threshold for secondary care. We have excellent links to other teams locally to ensure service users move seamless if we aren't best placed to help them. This includes third sector agencies, but also ATS, IAPT, and other SPFT teams.


EWS roles
are embedded right in the GP Primary Care Networks (small groups of local GP surgeries in Hayward Heath and Burgess Hill) but benefit from being part of the SPFT family, with excellent training and supervision as standard. This exciting and evolving service integrates closely with voluntary sector partners (Brighton Housing Trust) to provide accessible, high quality clinical consultation, assessment, and one-to-one intervention right on the GP's doorstep.
