Mental Health Wellbeing Practitioner

Job overview

Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust is pleased to advertise a permanent, full-time opportunity for a Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner to join the team working across the Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale (HMR) Primary Care Network/ Neighborhood Mental Health Teams.

This role is a key part of the ongoing transformation of community mental health services for adults and older adults, helping to bridge the gap between primary care, secondary mental health services, and physical healthcare.

As a Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner, you will be employed by Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust but will work within the HMR Primary Care Network, based in local GP practices.

The focus of the role is to provide early assessment, brief psychological interventions, and support individuals to access appropriate community and mental health services. You will help people to identify achievable goals, promote self-management, and connect them with relevant resources in the local area.

If you are passionate about delivering high-quality mental health support in a community setting and working collaboratively with primary care services, we would love to hear from you.
