Job description
Be the Mental Health Leader Patients Need - Right at the Heart of Primary Care Are you passionate about transforming mental health support where peopl...
This role operates within a busy primary care
environment, where timely access and early intervention are key. Clinicians
work within structured clinic templates, supporting a consistent and manageable
flow of patients.
Up to approximately 80 appointment slots per
week will be available within your clinic template. As is typical in primary
care, not all patients attend, and not all slots will be filled. This generally
equates to delivering around 13-14 patient contacts per day across a mix of new
assessments and follow-ups.
You'll be supported to deliver high-quality,
structured consultations that prioritise safe, effective, and person-centred
care, while helping patients access the right support at the right time.
You will support patients presenting with
conditions such as depression, anxiety, sleep issues, and adjustment disorders,
while maintaining strong relationships with local Community Mental Health Teams
and VCSE partners.
The focus of the role is on high-quality assessment,
formulation, risk management, and brief intervention rather than long-term
therapeutic work. You will be confident in making clear clinical decisions,
holding clinical uncertainty, and supporting patients to the most appropriate
onward pathway where needed.
You'll help reduce referrals to crisis or specialist
services by offering proactive, preventative, and person-centred care. You'll
be expected to work at enhanced level: managing complexity, leading service
development, and actively shaping a population-based mental health offer.
Clinical Practice
- Deliver timely, person-centred care for adults
with mental health needs referred from within the PCN - through GP triage,
direct referral, or proactive outreach.
- Conduct comprehensive mental health assessments
and develop shared care plans with patients.
- Completing Mental Health care plans to support
QOF indicators
- Deliver brief interventions, psychoeducation
and proactive medication support (if trained).
- Refer and signpost to Talking Therapies, CMHTs
crisis services, and VCSE organisations as appropriate.
- Work collaboratively with GPs, ANPs, Social
Prescribers, OTs, and other team members to plan joined-up care.
- Work autonomously with confidence to manage
complexity and psychosocial need.
- Apply holistic clinical reasoning and shared
decision-making to develop meaningful care plans.
- Apply safeguarding principles and act quickly
when crises arise.
- Actively contribute to mental health MDTs and
population health discussions at PCN level.
Evidence, Research, and Development
- Contribute to service development, quality
improvement, and mental health strategy alignment.
- Promote public mental health, prevention, and
early intervention as part of population health goals.
- Identifying high-risk populations, promoting
mental wellbeing, and tackling social determinants of mental health (e.g.
loneliness, housing, debt)
- Act as a clinical role model within the MDT
supporting professional development and reflective practice.
- Record activity and outcomes in line with
reporting requirements.
Key skills and attributes
- You thrive in a fast-paced, high-volume clinical
environment and are confident delivering safe, effective care within
time-limited consultations.
- You communicate clearly and effectively
building strong relationships with internal teams, PCNs, and external
stakeholders - both verbally and in writing.
- You are a natural people person and team player
who enjoys motivating and supporting others to deliver high-quality outcomes on
time.
- You take pride in running a tight ship
demonstrating strong organisational skills, attention to detail, and proactive
planning.
- You are tech-savvy, quickly learning new
systems, policies, and programmes and using data confidently to inform
decision-making and service improvements.
- You excel at problem-solving, applying logical
thinking to overcome challenges and implement effective solutions.
- You are self-reflective and committed to
continuous professional development, motivated to grow both your clinical
expertise and leadership capabilities.
- You understand and adhere to legal, ethical
professional, and organisational policies, procedures, and codes of conduct.
- You have proficiency with MS Office and other IT
tools, including HR databases and digital collaboration platforms.
