Summary
Specialist Practitioner Mental Health
Are you a registered Mental Health Nurse
Looking for a new challenge?
NOW is a great time to join the North West Ambulance Service (NWAS)
NHS Trust.
As a Trust, we are leading and shaping the evolution of how we manage
patients in the North West. A key element of our transformation is the
ts, provided by our clinical
team.
As a registered Mental Health Nurse we will train you to use advanced
telephone triage skills and make clinical decisions; thus providing patients
with appropriate care pathways which may not necessarily be transport to a
treatment facility.
NWAS is passionate about providing the best for its staff through a clear and
supportive career framework and there will be on-going professional support
and opportunities for successful applicants.
This role will allow the post holder to contribute to the development of the
wider Urgent Care agenda within the Trust by supporting the development of
Urgent Care Services, care pathways and clinical triage systems. The post

mentorship to peers.
The Post is available at our Emergency Operations Centres at Parkway
(Manchester) or Estuary Point (Liverpool).
North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust provides 24 hour, 365 days a year accident and emergency services to those in need of emergency medical treatment and transport.
Our highly skilled staff provide life-saving care to patients in the community and take people to hospital or a place of care if needed.
We also provide non-emergency patient transport services for those patients who require non-emergency transport to and from hospital and who are unable to travel unaided because of their medical condition or clinical need.
Alongside the other emergency services, we also work to ensure the safety of the public and treatment of patients in the event of a major incident.
We also deliver the NHS 111 service in the North West. NHS 111 replaced NHS Direct in 2013. This service was introduced to make it easier for people to access local NHS healthcare services in England. It provides non-emergency medical help fast, and is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Please ensure that you have fully read the job description and person specification before applying for this role.
