Are you an experienced Occupational Therapist looking to work autonomously, in a forward thinking, fast-paced environment? Come and bring your mental health expertise into the heart of West Suffolk’s communities!
We have a unique opportunity for HCPC Registered Occupational Therapists to come and make a difference to the local communities within our Primary Care Network (PCN) in West Suffolk.
Our Primary Care Network (PCN) Service for Mental Health has been developed to provide access to mental health services in Primary Care as part of an integrated health and care system, which brings care closer to home for our population.
The team in West Suffolk are passionate about developing their mental health provision; they’re proactive and enthusiastic and need forward-thinking, driven occupational therapists to help them achieve their aspirations.
If you are excellent at building relationships, a great communicator, working as part of a diverse primary care team and feel confident making your own decisions – we would love to hear from you!
West Suffolk are a group of 24 GP practices amongst 6 networks who work together in a local geographical area, with varying sizes, patient populations and mental health priorities.
You’ll be working alongside registered nurses, social workers, occupational therapists and clinical psychologists. On a day to day basis, as Occupational Therapist in a PCN, you will work as a member of the GP Practice’s extended team and will be based within the practice.
Mental Health Practitioners in general practice aim to provide advice and support for people with complex mental health needs (such as bipolar, psychosis, eating disorders, severe depression & anxiety, and a range of other mental illness) and the primary care teams involved in their care. The aim is to enable people to access specialist mental health interventions when required but also to support people to live well in their communities by focusing on strategies to promote mental and physical well-being and prevent deterioration in people’s health.
Development opportunities include access to leadership courses, mentoring/coaching and access to clinical development such as nonmedical prescribing course, Approved Mental Health Professional and more.
