Job description

We are looking for 2 highly motivated individuals to join our team as Trainee Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioners. This is an exciting role created by Health Education England and NHS England and Improvement to support the transformation of adult community mental health services. Your training will be fully funded by the NHS, and you will be eligible for a full-time qualified position if you pass the course. In return, we ask that you commit to staying with us for at least two years after you qualify

As a Trainee Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner, you will be expected to work under supervision as part of a dynamic mental health team delivering psychologically informed interventions and supporting adults to receive the right care. You will need to have flexibility and adaptability and a passion for working with adults with severe mental health problems.

During the one-year graduate certificate or postgraduate certificate training, you will, under supervision, develop knowledge and practice skills to employ wellbeing-focused psychologically informed interventions for serious mental health problems for adults individually and in groups, as well as support their families and carers, in line with the education providers expectations.

Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust provides mental health services and a number of learning disability, autism and social care services in the county of Lincolnshire. Employing around 2,800 staff, and serving a population of over 766,000, our people lie at the heart of everything we do.

You could be part of a Trust rated by staff as one of the best mental health and learning disability trusts in England, in an area heralded as a fantastic place to live and work. We firmly believe the key to high quality care is a contented workforce. This is reflected in our Care Quality Commission rating of ‘outstanding’ for well-led and ‘good’ overall. In the most recent National NHS Staff Survey, our staff rated us as the number one trust nationally for staff morale and one of the top scoring NHS Trusts in the Midlands for being compassionate and inclusive. We’re really proud of this!

We are also leading the way in transforming care, with multi-million-pound transformation of patient environments and radical redesign of community services.

This is the time to join and help redesign our services of the future. We offer options for flexible working and provide a wide range of training and promotion opportunities in all professions. We support and celebrate diversity, have active staff networks groups and are always looking at what more we can do to support our staff.

The Trainee Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner will:
Attend all elements of the training programme of study and progress successfully through assessments of competence and attainment

Work in an adult community mental health service when not completing the programme of study

Develop and practice psychologically-informed interventions under supervision, working directly with adults in the community

Support collaborative care planning, alongside other members of the multi-disciplinary team

Work closely alongside a team of mental health professionals to deliver a set of brief wellbeing-focused psychologically informed interventions - not therapy - for example:

o Behavioural Activation and Graded Exposure using the “GOALS” programme

o Problem-solving

o Improving sleep

o Recognising and managing emotions

o Guided self-help for bulimia and binge-eating

o Confidence building

o Support with medicines management

The Trainee Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner will be required to:

Have experience of work interacting with the public, working as part of a team, analysing complex information and communicating effectively

Demonstrate the ability to establish and maintain empathic, supportive relationships with people in significant distress, their families and carers

For more information and an informal discussion, please contact Christine Coupar [email protected]

Please note: The trainee mental health wellbeing practitioner posts are training positions. Progression into a permanent contract is subject to passing the course. Successful candidates will be attending their learning through Derby University.
We are committed to developing a team that is fully representative of the communities that we serve, and especially welcome applications from individuals with protected characteristics that are currently under-represented in our workforce.
