Job summary
We are looking for two highly motivated individuals to join our Older Adult Community Mental Health teams (CMHTs) as Trainee Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner (MHWP). Two posts are available, across our four Older Adult Community Mental Health Teams (Lewisham, Southwark, Lambeth & Croydon). This is an exciting new role created by NHS England to support the transformation of older adult community mental health services. Your training will be fully funded by the NHS.
This role contributes to ensuring older adults with severe mental health problems have greater access to psychologically informed interventions.
Please note: The trainee mental health wellbeing practitioner posts are training positions. Successful candidates will be expected to study at University College London and may need to travel to campus.

This means we work with a range of presentations from depression, anxiety to trauma and psychosis and sometimes these difficulties present in the context of dementia: our work is fascinating and important as we work with a vulnerable and interesting client group. We are a multi-disciplinary service: our CMHTs work to provide ongoing support to people living at home whilst our HTTs provide short term input to support people in crisis Each borough CMHT is based as follows:

o Recognising and managing emotions
o Confidence building
o Managing Worry
The Trainee Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner will be required to:
- Demonstrate the ability to work at degree level

Once successfully enrolled, the post-holder will attend all elements of the programme of study and progress successfully through assessments of competence and attainment. Until enrolment, and in the remaining part of the week during training, they will work as a trainee in the service, under close supervision and regular course assessment of practice competence. They will work within the limits of their experience and assessed competence for their stage of training:
To work alongside service users, families, carers and multi-disciplinary team members to co-ordinate care, supporting collaborative decision-making about care and treatment.

Reasonable Adjustments
It is important to note that completing the MHWP training programme while working within NHS secondary mental health care can be challenging, and thus it is important that trainees are prepared for the challenges of the programme. While the education provider and clinical placement will provide reasonable adjustments, neither course content nor the format or pass threshold of clinical competence assignments can be changed. Potential applicants are welcome to contact the education provider for advice.

It is important to note that completing the MHWP training programme while working within NHS secondary mental health care can be challenging, and thus it is important that trainees are prepared for the challenges of the programme. While the education provider and clinical placement will provide reasonable adjustments, neither course content nor the format or pass threshold of clinical competence assignments can be changed. Potential applicants are welcome to contact the education provider for advice.

Chief Operating Officer
Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust View all jobs
Posted 4 day(s) ago
Reference: 2459083
Job summary
Blackpool Teaching Hospitals serves some of the most deprived communities in England while also welcoming 22 million visitors each year. This creates a demanding environment but also a unique opportunity to develop health and care services that better meet local needs.
We are currently ranked 134th out of 134 trusts in the National Oversight Framework and are seeking a Chief Operating Officer who is motivated to lead one of the NHS's most significant turnaround opportunities.
This role is broader than many COO posts. You will lead hospital and community services across three clinical divisions and act as executive lead for relationships with partners at Place and System level, including developing our Place Partnership to deliver better Neighbourhood Health. A significant proportion of your time will be spent working beyond the Trust.
Our turnaround is already underway. We are focusing on fewer priorities and using our improvement system to make good practice the standard every day. Our staff are committed to the communities they serve and want to be proud of their Trust again. They need clear direction, consistent standards and compassionate accountability to achieve that ambition.
We welcome applicants from acute, community, mental health or commissioning backgrounds, whether you are an experienced COO or an outstanding deputy ready to step into a first executive role.
Main duties of the job
As Chief Operating Officer you will be a voting member of the Board, reporting to the Chief Executive. You will:
-
lead delivery of hospital and community clinical services against national standards, owning the operational plan to recover urgent and emergency care, elective, cancer and diagnostic performance.
-
lead three Divisional Managing Directors, each the accountable officer for their division, and the wider divisional and directorate leadership teams.
-
be the executive lead for relationships with partners at Place and System level, including the Place Partnership and the Lancashire & South Cumbria Provider Collaborative,
-
lead the development of clinical service strategy with clinical leaders, and drive service developments and reconfigurations that improve Neighbourhood Health.
-
lead capacity planning, operational resilience and emergency planning.
-
take part in the Executive on-call rota.
In your first year you will lead admission and attendance avoidance at scale, restore theatre and outpatient productivity, and transform how and where outpatient care is delivered.
About us
Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust provides hospital services to around 330,000 people on the Fylde Coast and to the almost 31 million people who visit each year. We provide community health services across Blackpool, Fylde, Wyre and North Lancashire, specialist regional services in cardiac care and haematology, and host the National Artificial Eye Service. In 2025/26 we saw 79,692 A&E attendances, 110,811 day cases and inpatients and 374,781 outpatient attendances.
Our purpose is to improve the life chances and health outcomes of our population. We serve some of the most deprived communities in England, and we know our future lies in those communities as much as in our hospitals.
We are open about the scale of the challenge. We are in NHS England's Recovery Support Programme, we work largely from a single acute site, and we have a great deal to do. We also have strong foundations: a new operating model of three clinical divisions, a newly approved Trust strategy, stable leadership and a clear set of priorities, and staff who want to be proud of their hospital again. Our values are Caring, Safe and Respectful. We are committed to equality of opportunity, and we know diversity is under-represented on our own Board. We particularly welcome applications from women, people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities, disabled people and people with long-term health conditions, LGBTQ+ people and people from all protected groups.

The NHS England North West Regional Finance Team provides financial leadership, oversight and assurance across a complex health system with an annual revenue budget of c.£24bn.
As Deputy Director of Financial Performance & Oversight, you will lead the regional approach to financial oversight, accountability and sustainability across providers and ICBs. You will combine strong financial management, forecasting and recovery expertise with a focus on productivity, operational performance, value and sustainable transformation.
Working with senior NHS leaders and national colleagues, you will identify risks early, provide appropriate support and challenge, and help organisations translate resources into better outcomes for patients and value for taxpayers.
We are a collaborative, supportive and inclusive team that values curiosity, innovation and continuous improvement. We invest in professional development, mentoring, CPD, study support and exposure to senior leaders.
This is a unique opportunity to influence decisions at scale, shape regional and national conversations, and help deliver sustainable, high-quality healthcare for the communities we serve.
Main duties of the job
As Deputy Director of Financial Performance and Oversight, you will lead assurance and oversight of financial performance across 30 NHS trusts and foundation trusts and 3 ICBs, supporting the Director of Finance to deliver the regional financial position and longer-term financial sustainability.
You will assure coherent and credible annual plans, monitor delivery, draw insight from complex financial and operational information and ensure timely, high-quality reporting and briefing. You will proactively identify and manage key risks and issues, agree mitigating action and make evidence-based recommendations on escalation, improvement support or regulatory intervention where required.

This is a high-profile opportunity to influence decision-making at scale and improve value for patients and taxpayers.
About us
NHS England has a wide range of statutory functions, responsibilities and regulatory powers. These are focused on supporting the wider NHS to deliver high quality care, as well as doing those things that are best done once for the whole NHS.
Our staff bring expertise across clinical, operational, commissioning, technology, data science, cyber security, software engineering, education, and commercial specialisms -- enabling us to design and deliver high-quality NHS services.
In March 2025, the Government announced that NHS England and the Department of Health and Social Care will increasingly merge functions, ultimately leading to NHS England being fully integrated into the department.
If you currently work within the NHS and if successful at interview, we will initiate an Inter Authority Transfer (IAT) via the Electronic Staff Record (ESR).This retrieves key data from your current or previous NHS employer to support onboarding, including competency status, Continuous Service Dates (CSD), and annual leave entitlement. You may opt out at any stage of the process.
Colleagues with a contractual office base are expected to spend, on average, at least 40% of their time working in our offices.
Staff recruited from outside the NHS will usually be appointed at the bottom of the pay band.
We cannot offer visa sponsorship for any vacancies.

It combines direct patient care with clinical leadership: supporting and developing colleagues from every organisation in the team, and helping the INT achieve a 10% reduction in avoidable emergency admissions for the cohort.
Proactive and preventative care
- Use the AEAR list, ICT dashboards, local intelligence and clinical judgement to identify and prioritise people for proactive support
- Prioritise timely Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) for everyone in the team's focus cohort where clinically indicated, covering clinical, functional, frailty and mental health review, and track progress so no one is missed
- Carry out structured medication reviews (SMR) with the team pharmacist, including deprescribing
- Develop digital personalised care and support plans (PCSP), with agreed actions, named responsibility and review arrangements
- Lead anticipatory care planning (DNACPR, ReSPECT, LPA) and high-quality treatment escalation planning (TEP)
- Focus on the leading drivers of admission risk: falls, congestive heart failure, flu/pneumonia and care home residents
- Hold named clinical responsibility where needed, and escalate when a plan is not achieving its intended outcomes
Clinical care
- Provide senior clinical assessment in clinics, care homes and patients' homes
- Triage referrals from practices and the team, prioritising home and care home visits by need
- Respond to people at risk of deterioration to prevent avoidable admissions and A&E attendances, linking with virtual wards, urgent community response and acute frailty services
- Support safe, timely discharge and follow-up after hospital stays
- Prescribe safely in line with local formulary and national guidance
- Make and follow up referrals to secondary care, community, mental health and social care services
- Keep accurate, contemporaneous records in shared systems and code activity correctly
One team: multi-organisation, multidisciplinary working
- Lead or contribute to INT and practice MDT meetings and huddles, bringing a senior generalist view
- Build trusting working relationships across primary care, community, mental health, social care, hospital and voluntary sector colleagues
- Act as a clinical point of contact and source of advice for the team and local practices
- Provide clinical supervision to team members such as physician associates, ACPs, paramedics and pharmacists
- Teach and develop colleagues and learners from all professions and organisations
Links to wider services
- Build and maintain strong working links with virtual wards, urgent community response and the wider ICT
- Develop clear routes to acute pathways and diagnostics, palliative and hospice care, specialist mental health, care home pathways, equipment and reablement, and housing
- Use warm transfers and direct clinician-to-clinician conversations to step people up or refer them on quickly
- Help the INT understand who to contact, how and when, so escalation is consistent across the team
- Work closely with the INT's named geriatrician on complex patients, through advice, joint review and shared decision-making
Leadership, quality and governance
- Provide clinical leadership to the INT core team and help design and improve the local delivery of the core offer
- Take part in, and help deliver, the centralised training and support programme, including multiprofessional training and supervision in CGA, digital PCSPs, advance care planning and TEP
- Record decisions, action owners, timescales and outcomes to agreed MDT documentation standards in shared care records
- Contribute to activity and outcome reporting through ICT and Neighbourhood Alliance governance
- Take part in audit, quality improvement and evaluation of outcomes
- Follow clinical governance, safeguarding, information governance and CQC requirements of the employing organisation
- Raise and learn from incidents, complaints and significant events
- Maintain own professional development, appraisal and revalidation
Working across organisations
The core team brings together colleagues employed by different organisations, working collaboratively as one integrated team. Operationally it must function as one integrated team through collaborative working. Employment, line management and performance management responsibilities remain with the employing organisation, which retains its overarching responsibilities for the employee in accordance with the subcontract. Day-to-day priorities and the organisation of work are decided by the Integrated Neighbourhood Team (INT), with a work plan and timetable that are transparent and accessible to both the employing organisation and the team. Employees must look to the INT for their individual work-plan rather than to their employing organisation.
Clinical accountability for a practitioners own practice, including the clinical decisions they make and any actions or omissions within their responsibility, remains with the practitioner and is supported by the clinical governance arrangements of their employing organisation. Working alongside colleagues from other organisations does not, in itself, transfer that accountability to them.
Clinical support and clinical supervision
Clinical support and clinical supervision serve different but complementary purposes, and both have a role within the core team.
Clinical support is part of the teams day-to-day working arrangements. It includes discussing cases, raising concerns, considering clinical options and agreeing next steps. Practitioners can draw on the expertise of colleagues across the team, particularly the GP with an interest in frailty. Where a discussion informs a clinical decision, the practitioner records the relevant discussion and the clinician consulted in the patient record, in line with local documentation and information governance requirements.
Clinical supervision provides protected time for reflection on practice, learning and professional development. It is arranged through the employing organisation in accordance with its policies and professional requirements. Where supervision is provided by someone outside the employing organisation, this is agreed in advance and documented in a written supervision agreement setting out the respective roles, responsibilities and arrangements for escalation and information sharing. Brief records of supervision are shared with the employing organisation in accordance with the agreed arrangements.
Working with the frailty practitioner and the wider team
The GP with an interest in frailty provides a clinical anchor for the core team, helping to bring clinical perspectives together and support consistent, coordinated decision-making. The post holder is expected to be accessible to the frailty practitioner and other team members for day-to-day clinical support, including case discussion, advice on clinical decisions and agreement of appropriate next steps. Where practicable, co-location for part of the working week can help build relationships, support timely discussion and strengthen the teams approach to care.
Where the employing organisation and the ICT agree that the GP will also provide formal clinical supervision to the frailty practitioner, this is established through a written supervision agreement. The agreement sets out the respective responsibilities, with protected time identified within the GPs sessions and an agreed contribution to the practitioners appraisal. This is a specific, agreed addition to the role rather than an automatic expectation of the frailty GP post.
General responsibilities
These apply to every member of the INT.
- Equality, diversity and inclusion: treat patients, carers and colleagues fairly and with dignity and respect, and challenge discrimination on any protected characteristic
- Safeguarding: recognise and act on safeguarding concerns for adults and children, following local procedures
- Confidentiality and information governance: protect patient information and share it appropriately across organisations under agreed data-sharing arrangements
- Health, safety and lone working: take reasonable care of your own and others' safety, including during home visits
- Quality and continuous improvement: suggest and take part in improvements to how the team works
- Induction: complete induction with the employing organisation and the INT, including the practices you work with
- Professional conduct: follow the policies of the employing organisation and the standards of your professional body
Job description Job responsibilities The GP with an Interest in Frailty is one of the three core roles in the INT team, alongside the MDT Coordinator and the Frailty Practitioner.

Op Courage provides a complete care pathway and is delivered by an experienced and committed Multi-Disciplinary Team.
The pathway starts with a comprehensive needs-led conversation and is followed by evidence-based interventions/treatment for a wide range of need and complexity, including complex mental health difficulties and psychological trauma.
The service is currently looking to recruit a Band 6 Specialist Practitioner to work across Devon and Cornwall so the postholder will need to live within this area and be mobile; however, on occasions, it will be necessary to work outside this area in order to support service delivery and to attend team meetings.
The service is delivered via a hybrid working model which includes using clinical spaces, hot-desks and homeworking. Clinical appointments are delivered face to face or virtually, in line with patient choice and clinical/operational need, so some lone working will be required.

This includes fostering a culture of kindness, respect, and inclusion in every interaction. Your role will involve leading on holistic assessments, collaboratively developing Personal Wellbeing Plans, and evaluating outcomes with service users, their families, and the wider MDT.
You will act as a keyworker for patients, coordinating all aspects of care and communication for the person, their family members and carers and the services that are involved.
You will maintain regular contact with the person and their family members and carers and specify this in their Personal Wellbeing plan.
You will support the physical and mental health of those in your care, uphold their human rights, and contribute to a safe, therapeutic environment.
You will also provide guidance and supervision to junior colleagues and students, modelling compassionate leadership and reflective practice.
You will be expected to provide mentorship for student nurses, provide preceptorship and supervision for Band 5 nurses and supervise other junior staff as directed Accurate and sensitive documentation will be a key part of your role, ensuring continuity and quality of care.

The OPD Pathway is a joint strategy and network of services commissioned and delivered by NHS England and His Majesty's Prison and Probation Services (HMPPS) for people who present a high risk of physical or sexual violence, and have risk factors and problematic behaviour associated with personality difficulties.
The post-holder will primarily support services in the North East region, however our delivery model operates across the North & South of Tyne, Durham/Tees Valley and North, West and South Cumbria, and is comprised of Psychologists, Psychological Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Specialist Probation Practitioners and Officers, and staff in support/assistant roles.
The main tasks within this post will include carrying out psychological assessment and intervention, assisting in delivery of staff training and consultation and participation in research, data collection, audits and service evaluation.
Main duties of the job
The post holder's main duties are to assist in the delivery of psychological services in the pathway; providing psychological assessment and specific interventions under the supervision of a qualified Clinical Psychologist, working independently within the limits agreed with the psychology supervisor.
The post holder will produce assessment and intervention professional reports.
The post holder will support the service in the delivery of training and workforce development initiatives.
The post holder will utilise research skills for audit, literature reviews, service development and other research initiatives within the pathway or wider service.

We aim to attract and retain a diverse, talented and committed workforce, who are caring and compassionate, and therefore able to meet the demands of the modern NHS now and in the future. In return we can offer a dynamic working environment in which to build a career.
NHS Employees identified as at risk of compulsory redundancy and those eligible for the NENC Re-Deployment careers hub will receive prior consideration.
The post is primarily across Northumbria, Durham and Cleveland, with occasional work into Cumbria and can involve regular travel to probation offices and Approved Premises within the area, as well as within the local communities.
