Overview

We are looking for a Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner to join the Richmond Integrated Recovery Hub (IRH). The Richmond IRH provides secondary mental health care for adults experiencing moderate to severe mental health difficulties.

We are preparing to implement the trust’s community transformation plans in line with the Community Mental Health Framework, to improve access and provision for clients with severe mental health difficulties. In doing so, we will be strengthening relationships with primary care and developing new links with the voluntary sector.

This is an exciting opportunity for an MHWP graduate to deliver a set of wellbeing-focused, psychologically-informed interventions, aligned to cognitive-behavioural principles, based on the best evidence available, that address problems often experienced by people with severe mental health problems.

• Work alongside service users, families, carers and multi-disciplinary team members to co-ordinate care, supporting collaborative decision-making about care and treatment.
