Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust View all jobs
Posted 16 day(s) ago
Reference: 2347883
Job summary
We are excited to recruit to the role of Senior Primary Care Mental Health Practitioner (Band 7) in Hertfordshire's HaLo Primary Care Network (PCN) covering the following GP surgeries in the St Albans area:
The Lodge Health Partnership
Harvey House Practice
The role will involve travel between the PCN sites as well as travel to HPFT sites for things such as mandatory training.
You will work alongside other clinicians within the PCN as part of a multidisciplinary team.
You will need to be able to work autonomously to triage, assess, case manage and discharge a patient without referral to a GP where appropriate.
You must be able to advise on medications, identify and intervene to meet social needs, order investigations and refer on to secondary care services where necessary.
You will act as a first point of contact in primary care. You will accept referrals for triage via agreed routes within the PCN. You will offer rapid and autonomous 'first contact' assessment and promote early treatment by supporting people directly into appropriate mental health pathways across both the statutory and voluntary sectors and will provide short term interventions on the telephone, via video link options, at the surgery or in the person's home where appropriate.
Main duties of the job
You will provide mental health assessment and brief interventions to service users in GP surgeries.
Your tasks will include early triage, assessment, treatment, risk management, identifying and dealing with safeguarding concerns as well as contributing to case discussions and service-related meetings across the adult mental health primary care pathway ensuring good links with secondary care services.
You will coordinate the time limited care of primary care-based service users delivering integrated care which takes account of social care needs. You will be someone who enjoys adapting and learning as you contribute to embedding this new role into primary care.
You will also take a leading role for service innovation and development in primary care mental health. This could include projects with other junior staff to ensure delivery of safe and effective primary care mental health services and making a significant contribution to the development and leadership of mental health services within Primary Care Networks. You may be expected to conduct audits to help understand the efficacy of these roles. You will also take part in training other colleagues in subjects related to your field of expertise.

Job description
Job responsibilities
This is an important role within the Elective Access Team, supporting the delivery of safe, effective and well-managed elective care pathways across the Trust.
As the Elective Care Training and Validation Manager, you will work closely with the Elective Access Manager, the 18 Week Lead, operational service managers, clinical teams, administrative teams, information colleagues and other key stakeholders across the organisation. The role will support delivery of the Trusts elective access standards, with a particular focus on 18-week Referral to Treatment performance, waiting list management, pathway validation, staff training and data quality improvement.
A key part of the role will be providing leadership and day-to-day management for the corporate RTT validation and training team. You will be responsible for planning and overseeing routine validation activity, monitoring progress against agreed validation schedules, supporting staff development, managing workloads, and ensuring the team delivers a high-quality service. This will include line management responsibilities such as appraisals, mandatory training compliance, recruitment, induction, annual leave, sickness management and supporting team members to perform effectively.
The post holder will play a central role in monitoring inpatient and outpatient patient tracking lists, identifying pathway risks, potential breaches, data quality issues and recurrent themes. You will be expected to escalate concerns appropriately to the 18 Week Lead, Elective Access Manager, operational service managers and divisional teams, ensuring that risks to elective access performance are clearly understood and acted upon. You will also support the monitoring of elective on-the-day cancellations, ensuring accurate information is shared with divisions to enable timely validation and follow-up action.
The role requires strong knowledge of elective access standards, 18-week RTT rules, waiting list management and patient pathway processes. You will act as a key point of contact for RTT and elective access queries across the Trust, providing expert advice and practical support to operational, clinical and administrative staff. You will help teams understand RTT rules, pathway milestones, validation methods, PTL data and the importance of accurate and timely recording on Trust systems.
Training and development will be a major part of the role. You will design, develop and deliver high-quality RTT and elective care training for staff across the organisation, including formal and informal training sessions. You will work collaboratively with the 18 Week Lead, EPR Training Team and other colleagues to develop training materials, user guides and trainer documentation that are accurate, up to date, version controlled and aligned to Trust and national guidance. You will also evaluate the effectiveness of training, use feedback to identify improvements, and support RTT super users and system users to maintain and develop their knowledge.
The post holder will also contribute to service improvement and pathway redesign. This will include working with services to map and analyse existing processes, identify areas of complexity or delay, and support the development of practical solutions to improve patient flow and reduce pathway length. You will use expert knowledge to evaluate systems, identify opportunities for improvement and help implement process changes that support the Trusts elective access service.
Strong analytical skills will be essential. You will review waiting list statistics, cancellation data, diagnostic reports and other elective care information, using tools such as Excel to filter, analyse and present data in a clear and user-friendly format. You will produce reports, action plans and updates that support operational decision-making, performance oversight and data quality improvement. The role will also involve working with the Trust Information Team to develop weekly reports on cancellations, diagnostic issues and breach reasons.
You will support governance and assurance by participating in audits of waiting lists, reviewing compliance with the Elective Access Policy and RTT rules, and communicating audit findings to relevant services. You will provide regular reports highlighting risks, themes, data quality issues and opportunities for improvement. The post holder will also provide an important link with data quality and EPR groups, ensuring that relevant issues are escalated, feedback is provided, and agreed actions are taken forward.
The role also includes project management responsibilities. You will support the delivery of elective access and service improvement projects to agreed timescales and quality standards. This will include maintaining project plans, tracking progress, documenting issues, completing assigned tasks, and providing accurate written and verbal updates. You may also work with specialist teams, including the EPR team, where projects involve changes to systems, processes or training requirements.
Communication and relationship-building are central to the role. You will need to work confidently with a wide range of staff across the Trust, including operational service managers, elective access teams, information colleagues, patient contact centre staff, outpatient reception teams, nursing staff, ward staff, medical secretaries and clinicians. You will be expected to communicate complex information clearly, adapt your approach for different audiences, and support collaborative working across divisions and services.
The post holder will be expected to uphold high standards of confidentiality, professionalism and Trust policy compliance at all times. You will support the Elective Access Manager and 18 Week Lead, attend meetings where required, represent the Directorate appropriately, and ensure key information from meetings is communicated accurately. You will also provide cover for colleagues where needed and undertake other duties within the scope of the role.
Overall, this is a varied and influential post for someone with strong elective access knowledge, excellent communication and analytical skills, and the ability to lead, train, support and influence teams across a complex healthcare environment. The successful candidate will play a key role in improving waiting list management, strengthening RTT compliance, enhancing data quality and supporting safe, timely and patient-focused elective care across the Trust.
