Job summary
Imagine a role where every day brings new challenges and the opportunity to make a real difference. As a Senior Practitioner with the Mental Health Integrated Access Partnership (IAP), you'll be at the heart of an innovative, multi-agency approach to mental health crisis care. This isn't just a job, it's a chance to pioneer the future of emergency mental health services.
Our award-winning, nationally-recognized initiative brings together BrisDoc Healthcare Services, Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership Foundation Trust, and South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust to provide an integrated front door service for people in mental health crisis across both 999 and 111.
We are seeking a dedicated Senior Practitioner to join our dynamic IAP team. The primary purpose of this role is to deliver high-quality mental health triage, assessment, and care coordination across various settings. You will play a crucial part in our multidisciplinary team, working to ensure patients receive timely, appropriate care that addresses both their mental and physical health needs.
This rotational post offers diverse experiences across multiple bases. You'll be at the heart of our efforts to reduce inappropriate A&E attendances, decrease S136 detentions, and improve outcomes for individuals experiencing mental health crises.
