Description

Come and join us in being part of a new and innovative way of working within Community Mental health in Waltham Forest.

We are looking for an experienced Nurse to work in Primary Care Networks (PCN) as part of the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS).

This collaborative model aims to bring together additional community mental health service funding with Primary Care Networks funding to build the workforce in general practice.

We are seeking Mental Health Nurse who can come and make a difference.

Providing high quality interventions in our new primary care integrated mental health service, you will be an important member of our primary care team.

The introduction of these roles is part of a wider transformation and expansion of community-based mental health services set out in the NHS Long Term Plan.

The practitioner can access and draw down on secondary mental health services and help provide a "bridge" between primary care and secondary mental health providers.

We continue to encourage all staff to ensure that they have been double vaccinated and received their booster.

We recognise that taking the vaccine provides the best defence against COVID 19 for our patients, our staff and their families.
