At the NHS, we are reminded every day of how important life is. As a flexible working friendly organisation, we want to be sure that you can work in a way that is best for us and for our patients, and for you. Speak to us about how we might be able to accommodate a flexible working arrangement whether that’s job share, part time or another flexible pattern. In addition, although the role advertised may have a ‘home’ office base indicated, we remain committed to supporting flexibility around workplace locations. If it works for the service, we will do our best to make it work for you.

Cornwall’s Community Mental Health Services have entered a 3-year transformation program that will ensure services are focused on providing care at the heart of the community. We will be enhancing our services to reach outstanding levels of quality care by being creative and innovative, exploring new ways to deliver high quality care to people with mental health problems. It’s an exciting time to join our Adult Mental Health Services in Cornwall, as we are focused on enhancing our services with outstanding levels of quality care. We are forging and renewing partnerships between colleagues in Primary & Secondary Care Services to create innovative and transformed mental health care for our population.

We are seeking mental health practitioners to join us in working in a non-traditional way, looking at new roles that straddle both primary and secondary care teams. This means you can contribute to transforming services with your knowledge, expertise and inventive ideas for change.

Due to these positive & transformative changes, we now have an exciting and unique opportunity for the right person to join St Austell Healthcare PCN as a Primary Mental Health Practitioner. Working alongside colleagues based within traditional community mental health teams you will work primarily with GP and primary mental health workers in the primary care.

Based in Central Cornwall, St Austell Healthcare is a single practice PCN committed to delivering high quality and patient centred care to 37,000 patients. You would join a team of 2 experienced mental health practitioners working within the practice with well-developed systems in place to ensure responsive and holistic care to anyone experiencing difficulties with mental health. SAH has close links with Cornwall Partnership NHS Trust (CPFT), IAPT provider, substance misuse service and third sector through well-established monthly MDT meetings. There is a thriving social prescribing team within the practice. St Austell Healthcare welcomes interest from enthusiastic, committed, proactive and caring mental health clinicians who are open to working in an innovative way.

The aims of this role are:

To provide rapid and responsive assessment, signposting and brief treatment to individuals referred to the service by several routes including self-referrals and General Practitioners.
To provide support to Primary Care staff in the local management of patients with common mental health problems.
To offer short term mental health interventions to support this client group within primary care settings, working at the primary secondary care interface to facilitate movement of clients between primary and secondary care services.

It is anticipated that you will be an experienced mental health nurse/practitioner. You need to have a proactive approach and be passionate about providing a high-quality holistic approach to care. You can influence the future pathway model development with your skills and knowledge. You need to have a can-do attitude and feel confident to work with autonomy, assessing and managing the care of those in Primary Care.

CFT will recognise & value your clinical expertise, post-qualification training and high level of specialist experience, with a genuine commitment to your career development and continued learning. We will enable you to use your clinical & leadership skills, encourage you to develop your ideas to shape our mental health services in Cornwall. You will be employed via CFT but your working day will be within the primary care mental health hub with the St Austell Health Care Group.

We are dedicated to building a compassionate workplace where quality improvement to the services we provide is at the heart of everything we do.

Here’s what we can offer you:

Being part of an innovative and supportive multi professional clinical leadership & management team dedicated to providing high-quality clinical care, that spans primary and secondary care.
Opportunities to be part of audit, research and leading service modernisation and improvements with the support of a dedicated quality lead.
Regular reflective practice, clinical supervision, training, and professional development opportunities.
