You will be working within the surgery and alongside our communities and local authorities with patients and their families, ensuring that issues such as housing, debt, carer fatigue, and addictions are addressed alongside mental health problems.
As a Mental Health Practitioner (social worker/occupational therapist/mental health nurse), you will collaborate with other professionals, including GPs and care navigators, to integrate existing services and provide a unified team approach. This role involves delivering care from GP surgeries and offers an exciting opportunity to influence the future of local service provision.
We are redesigning our community mental health services to offer a personalized, preventative, and proactive integrated approach. Primary Care, voluntary services, and AWP are working together to implement this one-team approach for our local populations. Your role as a Mental Health Practitioner is crucial to this initiative.
We are Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust (AWP), a diverse organization with over 5,000 staff providing inpatient and community-based mental health care.
Our services cover approximately 1.8 million people across Bath and North East Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Swindon, Wiltshire, and parts of Dorset.
Our outstanding team promotes mental health and wellbeing, focusing on a person-centered approach for service users and staff. We believe that happy and fulfilled employees deliver better care.
At AWP, we actively encourage applications from all backgrounds, especially from Black, Asian, and minority ethnic communities, individuals with disabilities, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. We value the diverse experiences, backgrounds, perspectives, and knowledge that applicants bring, as diversity strengthens us.
