Be the Mental Health Leader Patients Need - Right at the Heart of Primary Care
Are you passionate about transforming mental health support where people live, work, and thrive?
We are looking for a dedicated Registered Mental Health Nurse to join our innovative, compassionate, and community-focused team in Northumberland. In this role, you'll support people with mild to moderate mental health needs right at the heart of primary care where early support can have the greatest impact. You will be based at 3 sites across Hexham, Prudhoe and Morpeth.
You'll work alongside GPs, Physiotherapists, Clinical Pharmacists, Occupational Therapists, Podiatrists, Social Prescribers, and other allied professionals to offer joined-up care that puts patients first. Together, were rethinking how mental health is managed in General Practice and we want you to join us on our journey.
This role is well suited to clinicians who enjoy autonomous decision-making, variety, and working at pace within primary care, rather than those seeking a traditional therapy-based caseload.
As a Mental Health Nurse working at Enhanced Level Practice (level 7), youll play a central role in delivering the PCN's mental health offer. You will be embedded within GP practices, acting as a first point of contact for patients with mental health issues in primary care.
Main duties of the job
This role operates within a busy primary care environment, where timely access and early intervention are key. Clinicians work within structured clinic templates, supporting a consistent and manageable flow of patients.
Up to approximately 80 appointment slots per week will be available within your clinic template. As is typical in primary care, not all patients attend, and not all slots will be filled. This generally equates to delivering around 13-14 patient contacts per day across a mix of new assessments and follow-ups.
You'll be supported to deliver high-quality, structured consultations that prioritise safe, effective, and person-centred care, while helping patients access the right support at the right time.
You will support patients presenting with conditions such as depression, anxiety, sleep issues, and adjustment disorders, while maintaining strong relationships with local Community Mental Health Teams and VCSE partners.
