At Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust (GHC), we provide joined-up mental health, physical health and learning disability services to people of all ages across Gloucestershire. We run community hospitals and provide care and support in people's own homes and in a range of other locations across the county. We are on a mission to enable people to live the best life they can and we have a vision to work together to provide outstanding care. We put people at the heart of our services, focusing on personalised care by asking 'what matters to you'.
Our Community based Mental Health services are currently embarking on an exciting period of transformation, where we will continue to build on providing excellent place-based mental health services for the population of Gloucestershire. We are seeking compassionate, creative & self-motivated mental health professionals to support us in continuing to offer a truly great assessment, signposting and short-term treatment service. As part of the transformation, opportunities will arise which may evolve this role in the near future.
Our professional teams provide assessment, treatment and signposting to other community services based on health promotion, recovery and socially inclusive principles. We work in GP surgeries as well as community bases, providing face-to-face, video and telephone appointments. The service currently has access to a range of psychological interventions that form part of the NHS Talking Therapies Service (Improving Access to Psychological Therapies) service.
As an autonomous worker, you will be using your initiative when decision making around which services will best serve your patient. You will be an experienced, qualified Mental Health professional (Nurse, Social Worker or Occupational Therapist, registered with the appropriate professional body) and have experience of first line mental health assessments, including risk assessment. You might be, or are interested in becoming a non-medical prescriber (NMP, RMNs only). We are able to support training as an NMP. Participating in supervision and mentoring students is a key part of this role.
