Senior Primary Care Mental Health Practitioner - ARRS HaLo PCN
Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust View all jobs
Posted 1 month(s) ago
Reference: 2347883
Job summary
We are excited to recruit to the role of Senior Primary Care Mental Health Practitioner (Band 7) in Hertfordshire's HaLo Primary Care Network (PCN) covering the following GP surgeries in the St Albans area:
The Lodge Health Partnership
Harvey House Practice
The role will involve travel between the PCN sites as well as travel to HPFT sites for things such as mandatory training.
You will work alongside other clinicians within the PCN as part of a multidisciplinary team.
You will need to be able to work autonomously to triage, assess, case manage and discharge a patient without referral to a GP where appropriate.
You must be able to advise on medications, identify and intervene to meet social needs, order investigations and refer on to secondary care services where necessary.
You will act as a first point of contact in primary care. You will accept referrals for triage via agreed routes within the PCN. You will offer rapid and autonomous 'first contact' assessment and promote early treatment by supporting people directly into appropriate mental health pathways across both the statutory and voluntary sectors and will provide short term interventions on the telephone, via video link options, at the surgery or in the person's home where appropriate.
Main duties of the job
You will provide mental health assessment and brief interventions to service users in GP surgeries.
Your tasks will include early triage, assessment, treatment, risk management, identifying and dealing with safeguarding concerns as well as contributing to case discussions and service-related meetings across the adult mental health primary care pathway ensuring good links with secondary care services.
You will coordinate the time limited care of primary care-based service users delivering integrated care which takes account of social care needs. You will be someone who enjoys adapting and learning as you contribute to embedding this new role into primary care.
You will also take a leading role for service innovation and development in primary care mental health. This could include projects with other junior staff to ensure delivery of safe and effective primary care mental health services and making a significant contribution to the development and leadership of mental health services within Primary Care Networks. You may be expected to conduct audits to help understand the efficacy of these roles. You will also take part in training other colleagues in subjects related to your field of expertise.
About us

Our family of over 4,000 members of staff provide health and social care for people with mental ill health, physical ill health and learning disabilities across Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Essex and Norfolk, delivering these services within the community and several inpatient settings.

You will use expert knowledge to evaluate systems, identify opportunities for improvement and help implement process changes that support the Trusts elective access service.
Strong analytical skills will be essential. You will review waiting list statistics, cancellation data, diagnostic reports and other elective care information, using tools such as Excel to filter, analyse and present data in a clear and user-friendly format. You will produce reports, action plans and updates that support operational decision-making, performance oversight and data quality improvement. The role will also involve working with the Trust Information Team to develop weekly reports on cancellations, diagnostic issues and breach reasons.
You will support governance and assurance by participating in audits of waiting lists, reviewing compliance with the Elective Access Policy and RTT rules, and communicating audit findings to relevant services. You will provide regular reports highlighting risks, themes, data quality issues and opportunities for improvement. The post holder will also provide an important link with data quality and EPR groups, ensuring that relevant issues are escalated, feedback is provided, and agreed actions are taken forward.
The role also includes project management responsibilities. You will support the delivery of elective access and service improvement projects to agreed timescales and quality standards. This will include maintaining project plans, tracking progress, documenting issues, completing assigned tasks, and providing accurate written and verbal updates. You may also work with specialist teams, including the EPR team, where projects involve changes to systems, processes or training requirements.
Communication and relationship-building are central to the role.

About us
The post holder is expected to have a clear understanding of how this post contributes to the achievement of the trust vision of:
A thriving Foundation Trust at the heart of an integrated healthcare system. One that delivers improved patient care at a community, hospital and specialist setting, supported by a unique and nationally recognised programme of research, education and employee engagement.
We expect all our staff to share the values that are important to the Trust, being Excellent, Kind, Responsible & Respectful, and behave in a way that reflect these.
St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is committed to safeguarding children and vulnerable adults and expects that all staff will share this commitment. The Trust is clear that all staff have a responsibility to be aware of children and adult safeguarding policies and procedures and that each member of staff, clinical and non-clinical, will attend child and/or adult safeguarding training that is provided at an appropriate level to suit their role. The Trust has the additional expectation that all staff will be able to identify concerns and know what action to take.
