Job overview
Would you like to be part of a supportive team who are passionate about improving the lives of service user’s and their families?
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a 12 month secondment into the North Primary Care Liaison Service.
We would welcome applications from a current band 4, or experienced band 3 with relevant community experience. The role would be to support the clinical team.
This role will afford rapid access to credible specialist mental health expertise for GPs, Primary Care staff and other referring agents who are requiring support and expert advice on meeting the mental health needs of the people within their case loads. This will ensure that patients in Primary Care have their mental health needs more clearly assessed, defined, cared for and treated by Primary Care Health Care Professionals and that the pathways to best meet someone’s needs is optimised. For most people this will mean remaining within Primary Care supported by the Primary Care Liaison Service where needed, but for some, needs necessitating, there will be a smooth transfer into AWP treatment services.
