Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner
Aneurin Bevan University Health Board View all jobs
Posted 18 day(s) ago
Reference: 2387061
Job summary
We currently have an amazing opportunity for anyone experienced in providing support to people who experience mental health issues or emotional distress to get involved in the development of a brand-new service.
At the start of employment, successful candidates will be required to complete a comprehensive training package during the daytime. The service will be operational 24/7 and so successful candidates will be required to work a full shift rotation on completion of the training period.
If you have experience of supporting people, whether that be face to face or over the telephone, and you have a passion for improving and shaping services, we would really like to hear from you.
Please note that the selection process for these roles will include an assessment of competence in managing a difficult phone call.
Main duties of the job
This post is a key role within the 24/7 Mental Health 111 service and will be the first point of contact for people who may require urgent mental health support.
- Mental Health & Wellbeing Practitioners provide effective mental health support to people calling the service who may be experiencing a mental health crisis. This may include triage and risk assessments, and brief psychosocial interventions.
- Working via telephone and video calls, Mental Health & Wellbeing Practitioners will provide effective emotional support for people through the use of compassionate conversations and, when appropriate, encourage and guide effective self-management of emotional distress.
- Mental Health & Wellbeing Practitioners will be able to recognise when a person requires more support than is possible to be delivered over the phone.
- Post holders will work with people from different cultural backgrounds and of all ages and should be committed to culturally competent practice and aware of issues relating to equality, diversity and inclusion.
As this role will be evaluated to understand whether it needs to adapt, successful candidates will also be required to engage in regular reviews, e.g., completing questionnaires, giving feedback, in addition to their usual supervision.
The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this role; Welsh and/or English speakers are equally welcome to apply.

As our Head of Aseptic Services, you will hold overall accountability for service delivery and operational oversight across pharmacy technical services. You will provide the specialist leadership and assurance needed to maintain the quality, safety and professional standards on which our patients and clinical teams depend.
This is a role with significant professional responsibility, but also significant opportunity. We are looking for someone with the technical credibility, leadership and ambition to develop our people, drive improvement and shape the future direction of aseptic services at UHD.

But maintaining today's standards is only part of the role.
You will lead service development and improvement, exploring new technologies, equipment and service models and developing capacity, supply and business continuity plans. You will contribute to regional and system-wide work exploring the future of aseptic services and play an important role in our digital transformation.
Working across professional boundaries, you will provide expert advice, manage complex risks and lead and develop our multidisciplinary aseptic workforce.
