Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust provides child and adult mental health services, learning disability, wellbeing, older people's and eating disorder services across Norfolk and Suffolk.

We are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and want to reflect the diversity of our local communities within our teams. We welcome applications from all talented individuals with the relevant qualifications, skills, knowledge and experience.

Please note due to the nature of our roles and patient demographic, you will be required to undertake physical intervention training and remain trained, as required by your role.

Job overview

We are recruiting a Primary Care Based Lead Mental Health Practitioner (MHP) working across GP practices within Central Norwich Primary Care Network to join our existing team.

This is a jointly funded role through the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS), supporting NSFT and Primary Care to deliver Place‑Based Care. The post enables people to access timely mental health support in the familiar surroundings of their GP practice, helping ensure they receive the right support at the right time.

You will be embedded within GP practices and work as part of a multidisciplinary primary care team, delivering non‑urgent mental health assessment and brief interventions for patients 16+ experiencing a range of mental health difficulties.

Main duties of the job

Expectations of the role:

Provide assessments, brief interventions and short‑term support for people aged 16+
Support individuals with presentations including anxiety, depression, trauma‑related distress, bipolar disorder, psychosis and other mental health needs
Deliver psychoeducation, problem‑solving approaches, safety planning and self‑management strategies
Work collaboratively with GP practice staff and local services to ensure people are directed to the most appropriate support
Promote recovery, wellbeing and prevention of deterioration within local communities

Working for our organisation

Every day is different and not without its challenges. We strive to ensure our staff have the support they need to tackle these challenges and time to embrace new opportunities.

Joining the Mental Health team at Norfolk and Suffolk Foundation Trust could be life-changing for you and the people you care for. Take the next step in your career, while supporting people to live their hopes, dreams and aspirations.

Why work for NSFT?

As an NHS employer, we have developed and put in place a range of policies to support our employees to enjoy a fair and healthy working environment.
Flexible working options allow staff to request, review and agree changes in their working patterns at different stages of their careers, and as their personal circumstances change.

We are committed to creating a fair, inclusive and diverse workforce, and we have dedicated Employee Network Groups which champion staff mental health issues, BME, disability, spirituality and wellbeing, women’s and neurodiversity, and LGBT issues.
