This is a Band 5, full-time role (37.5 hours per week), based across the South Sefton Primary Care area assigned. The post holder will work with adults aged 18+ who are at risk of, experiencing or recovering from mental health difficulties.

• Build effective therapeutic relationships, explain confidentiality clearly, obtain informed consent and communicate sensitively with people, families, carers and professionals.
• Complete collaborative risk assessments, risk formulations and management plans in accordance with local policy, escalating or seeking support where required.
• Recognise and respond appropriately to safeguarding concerns involving children or adults, following organisational and statutory procedures.
• Review progress and outcomes with patients, determine when further intervention may not be helpful, and support safe discharge, onward referral or follow-up planning.
• Maintain accurate, timely and appropriate electronic clinical records, including assessment documentation, progress notes, outcome measures, supervision records and discharge correspondence.
• Manage and prioritise a varied caseload, plan appointments and administrative time, organise an effective diary and work safely within lone-working procedures.

Multidisciplinary and partnership working

The post holder will work as an active member of the multidisciplinary team and maintain constructive relationships with SSPCN GP practices, ARRS colleagues, primary and community mental health teams, social care, education, housing, benefits services, voluntary, community and faith organisations, and other partners involved in a persons care.

Supervision and professional development

The post holder will prepare for and participate fully in weekly clinical supervision with a named qualified psychological professional, as well as relevant group supervision, line management and appraisal processes.
