As a Mental Health Nurse working at Enhanced Level Practice, you will play a central role in delivering
the PCN's mental health offer. You will be embedded within practices, delivering early support to
adults with low-to-moderate mental health needs, while maintaining strong relationships with local
Community Mental Health Teams and VCSE partners.
You will help reduce referrals to crisis or specialist services by offering proactive, preventative, and
person-centred care. You will 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 low to moderate mental health needs referred from within the PCN, whether through GP triage, direct referral, or proactive outreach.
- Conduct comprehensive mental health assessments and develop shared care plans with patients.
- Deliver brief interventions, psychoeducation, and proactive medication support (where appropriately trained).
- Refer and signpost to IAPT, CMHTs, crisis services, and VCSE organisations as required.
- Work collaboratively with GPs, ANPs, Social Prescribers, OTs, and other team members to plan joined up care.
- Work autonomously and confidently to manage complexity and psychosocial need.
- Apply holistic clinical reasoning and shared decision making to develop meaningful care plans.
- Apply safeguarding principles and respond promptly 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 alignment with mental health strategy.
- Promote public mental health, prevention, and early intervention as part of population health goals.
- Identify high risk populations, promote mental wellbeing, and address 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
- Thrive under pressure and remain calm and composed in a fast paced, changing environment.
- Communicate clearly and effectively, building strong relationships with internal teams, PCNs, and external stakeholders.
- Demonstrate strong interpersonal skills and enjoy motivating and supporting others to deliver high quality outcomes.
- Take pride in maintaining excellent organisation, attention to detail, and proactive planning.
- Be confident with technology, quickly learning new systems, policies, and programmes, and using data to inform decision making and service improvement.
- Excel at problem solving, applying logical thinking to overcome challenges and implement effective solutions.
- Be self reflective and committed to continuous professional development, with motivation to grow both clinical expertise and leadership capability.
- Understand and adhere to legal, ethical, professional, and organisational policies, procedures, and codes of conduct.
- Demonstrate proficiency with MS Office and other IT tools, including HR databases and digital collaboration platforms.
Experience, Knowledge and Qualifications
- Registered Mental Health Nurse with the NMC.
- Proven experience supporting adults with mental health needs, ideally in a community or primary care setting.
- Strong understanding of common mental health conditions and evidence based interventions.
- Excellent communication, triage, and consultation skills.
