Clinical Nurse/OT/Social Worker Lead post for Mental Health Integrated Network Team (MINT)
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a suitably qualified and experienced senior mental health practitioner to work closely with the Team Manager and other senior clinicians within H&F Central MINT services in Hammersmith & Fulham. This post is open to nurses, social workers, and occupational therapists and is a management post within the team.
Remodelled community teams have been established over the past year following a successful bid for additional resources. In line with the population health model, the team now delivers mental health interventions in partnership with primary care colleagues while continuing to provide care for those with more complex needs.
Background:
The Long-Term Plan, together with NHSE’s Community Mental Health Framework, provides a historic opportunity to address gaps in the provision of Mental Health care within communities. Community teams have moved away from siloed, hard-to-reach services towards joined-up care and whole population management approaches, establishing a revitalised purpose and identity for community mental health services.
One of the LTP’s key objectives is to develop new and integrated models of primary and community mental health care which will support adults and older adults with severe mental illnesses. It supports the development of place-based and personalised community mental health services wrapped around the Primary Care Networks (PCNs) and outlines how these developments will help to improve care for people with severe mental illnesses.
The Senior Practitioners play critical roles in providing nursing leadership and MDT accountability within the Multi-disciplinary MINT teams. The teams offer enhanced access and provision to psychological therapies, improved physical health care, employment support, personalised and trauma-informed care, medicines management, and support for self-harm and coexisting substance use. In addition, the teams will work proactively to address social and racial disparities, using a bio-psycho-social approach, which includes dedicated LINK workers and Peer support.
Key to the success of the teams is the engagement and liaison with the local Primary Care Networks as well as the local communities in supporting the delivery of this vision. This work is ongoing and is critical in using all available resources effectively and in a joined-up manner.
We are seeking to recruit a high-caliber professionally qualified nurse practitioner with excellent communication skills; a clear commitment to delivering patient-centered quality care and a commitment to developing and supporting the workforce.
We believe that this is an exciting opportunity to influence and support the delivery of responsive holistic and joined-up care in partnership with communities, third sector agencies, and GPs.
West London NHS Trust is one of the most diverse healthcare providers in the UK, delivering a range of mental health and physical healthcare and community services. The Trust runs Broadmoor Hospital, one of three high secure hospitals in the country, with an international reputation.
Our high secure services care for patients from South of England and we provide low and medium secure services across eight London boroughs.

Our turnover for 2023-24 is £426m.
The Trust is rated as ‘Good’ overall by the Care Quality Commission. Forensic services are rated as ‘Outstanding’.
The Trust is an established partner and contributor in the development of the evolving North West London Integrated Care System and the Integrated Care Board. The Trust leads the NW London Children and Adolescent Mental Health provider collaborative.
