BSW Mental Health Clinical Assessment Service (MH CAS)
The BSW 111-2 service operates in a partnership delivery model with BrisDoc.
BrisDoc provide the ‘front door’ call handling for the pathway, receiving calls from the public, gathering information and first line triage to identify the presenting need.
Those callers requiring additional mental health assessment and support will then be passed through to the BSW 111-2 Mental Health Clinical Assessment Service (MHCAS) provided by mental health practitioners employed by AWP.
The BSW MHCAS will work alongside the BNSSG MHCAS which operates under the Integrated Access Partnership (IAP), a multiagency partnership delivery approach across a range of urgent care services.
The Main Purpose of the Role
The main purpose of the role is to provide telephone-based triage and clinical assessment within the BSW 111 MHCAS service, determining appropriate care pathways and making onward referrals where clinically indicated.

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
