Mental Health Liaison Practitioner - James Paget Hospital
Are you a skilled and experienced practitioner looking to join a passionate and dedicated team?
Our Mental Health Liaison team based at the James Paget University Hospital (JPUH) in Gorleston has an exciting opportunity for a Mental Health Nurse or Social Worker to join their fantastic team on a permanent part-time basis.
This role is there to support those attending the JPUH with new or ongoing mental health difficulties and illness; to identify their needs, ensuring these are met effectively whilst in hospital and to contribute towards timely/supportive discharge planning.
Our vital service operates 24/7, 365 days of the year which means you will be expected to work a shift pattern.
JPUH is located in the coastal town of Gorleston, just a stone's throw from beautiful beaches and with great connections to Norwich, Great Yarmouth, and Lowestoft. Working here will give you the opportunity to work in a busy acute hospital with the added benefit of being able to enjoy the beaches, beautiful countryside, and coastal towns in your spare time.
If you are motivated, compassionate, a good team player, and keen to make a difference to the lives of both adults and older people experiencing mental health crisis, then we want to hear from you.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
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.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We’re looking for someone who enjoys working in a fast-paced and busy environment, forging excellent working relationships with other health professionals within the hospital and beyond.
A flexible ‘can do’ attitude, with a willingness to build links with acute hospital colleagues, is essential to ensure that a proactive interface is created between mental health and acute services.
From working alongside colleagues in the A&E department, to in-reaching to the wards, supporting substance misuse colleagues, and liaising with other mental health professionals, you will work across the JPUH supporting individuals presenting to the acute hospital with mental health issues.
We’re looking for an individual who wants to grow and develop their knowledge and skills by working closely with colleagues, sharing experience and knowledge to continually learn from each other.
Ideally you’ll have experience, particularly in areas of acute mental health and risk management and older adults’ mental health.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who would like a new challenge with variety where no two days will be the same.
Here at NSFT we pride ourselves on being a welcoming, talented, friendly, and supportive team who like nothing better than sharing experiences and learning from each other. In addition to ongoing training and development opportunities, we are committed to providing an environment in which you can thrive.
