As an embedded member of the PCN Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT), you will work directly within primary care GP surgeries, serving as a vital bridge between primary care teams and secondary mental health providers. We are looking for an autonomous, creative, and highly proficient clinical practitioner who can deliver high-quality early interventions, navigate local resources, and act as the gatekeeper and guardian for secondary care referrals.

• Bridge Primary & Secondary Care: Act as the primary liaison and gatekeeper between GP surgeries and secondary mental health services, ensuring seamless transitions, appropriate referrals, and reduced barriers to specialist support.

• Deliver Focused Interventions: Provide high-quality, evidence-based, brief mental health interventions to patients within primary care settings to improve outcomes and promote self-management.

• Multidisciplinary Collaboration: Embed fully into the PCN Multi-Disciplinary Team--working alongside GPs, clinical specialists, and social prescribers--while maintaining active links with community mental health MDTs.

Our teams support children, young people and adults with a wide range of mental health needs. We also provide specialist services, including all-age eating disorder services and neurodevelopmental assessments for children and young people, such as autism and ADHD.

Because we work across the whole county and across hospital and community settings, we can make care more joined up and easier to access for the people we serve.

Our vision is simple: we are here to help communities not just live with mental illness, but live well. It's why we're passionate about working with communities to make mental health care better for everyone. Everything we do is guided by our values: caring, inclusive, curious and confident.
