Mental Health Liaison Practitioner
with the service based at
Stepping Hill Hospital
in Stockport.
If you are a registered mental health professional with experience in assessing and supporting individuals of any age and would like to be part of a growing and developing service, we would like to hear from you. We are particularly interested in colleagues with experience working with both working age and older adults to support our urgent pathway within the team, as well as individuals with a background in crisis and acute care to support our emergency pathway.
As part of the Mental Health Liaison service, you can expect professional support and development in this exciting and challenging area of work. You will be joining a friendly and supportive team at Stepping Hill Hospital, receiving regular management and clinical supervision, and having opportunities to engage in CPD. As a valued member of the liaison team, you will be fully involved in all service developments and given opportunities to support quality improvement. Significant developments have taken place over the past 12 months with acute trust colleagues supported by NHS England, making this a great time to join the team. We are also currently undergoing the PLAN accreditation process with the Royal College of Psychiatrists.
The service runs 7 days a week to support wards and 24/7 to support the Emergency Department, so posts will be worked on a shift basis to include nights, weekends, and bank holidays.
We are proud to provide high-quality mental health and learning disability services, both inpatient and in the community across five boroughs of Greater Manchester - Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Stockport, and Tameside and Glossop.
Our vision is for a happier and more hopeful life for everyone in our communities, and our staff work hard to deliver the very best care for the people who use our services. We’re really proud of our #PennineCarePeople and do everything we can to make sure we’re a great place to work.

We also encourage applications from individuals with a lived experience of mental illness, either individually or as a carer.
