Description

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of the ongoing development of the Leeds Mental Wellbeing Service, in partnership with both statutory and third sector services.

The post holder will be linked to a primary care network (PCN), whilst providing a peripatetic specialist mental health clinical role within defined GP practices to support people with a wide range of mental health issues.

We would actively encourage people of all backgrounds who meet the essential criteria to apply, as we are seeking to ensure the workforce is representative of the people of Leeds. Applicants from BAME backgrounds and/or who are able to speak a community language (eg Urdu, Farsi, Polish, Romanian) are welcome.

The primary aim of this team is to support General Practice in managing the mental health of those patients where an existing mental health service within Leeds has not been identified to meet their current needs.

This may include offering advice to the practice or engaging directly with the patient.
