Community Mental Health Link Worker London, England
Job description
The role involves providing support to clients referred by GPs to the Mental Health Integrated Network Team (MINT), to access locally-based community services, to aid their mental health recovery and encourage meaningful engagement within their local community. The role also involves carrying out brief assessments with prospective clients who have been identified as requiring support from our service, signposting to agreed and appropriate community resources, making additional referrals, escalating any identified safety or safeguarding concerns appropriately, and feeding back as necessary to the wider team. A key part of the role is to develop a live register of assets in the community that could be useful to people on the caseload who would benefit and to work with other post- holders on a system-wide asset-based register, as well as fostering strong relationships and keeping the lines of communication open with our community partners.
