Senior Mental Health Practitioner - First Point of Contact Centre

Forget caseloads and case management. In the FPCC your skills and expertise will be in triaging patients at the point of contact, providing mental health support and identifying what service will best meet their needs moving forwards. The spectrum of mental health needs varies significantly; you will have the ability to offer advice, guidance and support for mental health issues, with a routine, urgent or crisis response, and ways this can be managed and improved. Equally, you'll have the ability to respond to urgent referrals with more acute needs and higher risks in the community.

Handling a wide range of calls and thriving amid the challenges this presents requires an outstanding amount of resilience and emotional strength as you will be supporting unwell and upset patients at their time of need. Your support will make a difference to lives and requires people who can be there for those that need it, sometimes in the face of adversity and trauma.
