Job Description
If you are a proactive, forward-thinking individual seeking experience in a dynamic service, this is an excellent opportunity.
This position is created due to increasing demand and the development of the Primary Care Mental Health Service in Lochaber (NHS Highland North). The hours are aligned with GP Cluster Areas.
The role involves working within a newly established Primary Care Mental Health Service as part of a multidisciplinary community team, collaborating with GPs, primary care, third sector, and CMHT colleagues. You will deliver psychological therapy programs to individuals with mild to moderate mental health issues, using a strength-based, recovery-focused approach that involves patients in their care planning.
Responsibilities include conducting individual sessions and facilitating group work, often in GP surgeries or other community settings. Some sessions may be virtual, requiring confidence in digital platforms like Near Me.
You should be a person-centered individual motivated to improve outcomes for others. Interaction with people should come naturally. Candidates should be self-motivated, enthusiastic, innovative, responsible for their professional development, and committed to service development. Experience in mental health is advantageous but not essential, as supervision and ongoing professional development will be provided.
A driving license and access to a vehicle are essential.
