About the Role
This role is a key part of the ongoing transformation of community mental health services for adults and older adults, helping to bridge the gap between primary care and specialist mental health services.
The focus of the role is to provide early assessment, brief psychological interventions, and support individuals to access appropriate community and mental health services.

If you are passionate about delivering high-quality mental health support in a community setting and working collaboratively with primary care services, we would love to hear from you.
Key Responsibilities
- To work alongside clients, families, carers, and multi-disciplinary team members to coordinate care, supporting collaborative decision making about care and treatment.
- To deliver a set of wellbeing-focused, psychologically informed interventions aligned to cognitive-behavioral principles, based on the best evidence available that address problems often experienced by people with severe mental health problems who have experienced trauma.
- To deliver specified wellbeing-focused, psychologically informed interventions in line with best available evidence, under close supervision from a practitioner, psychologist, or CBT therapist including:
- Behavioural activation and graded exposure
- Teaching problem-solving skills
- Improving sleep
- Recognising and managing emotions
- Guided self-help for a range of conditions, including anxiety and low mood
