We are looking for a part-time (22.5hrs/week) experienced clinician to join our Primary Care Mental Health Liaison team for a fixed term of 1 year.
The Richmond Wellbeing service was an innovative service development back in 2012 combining two service elements in order to provide seamless care packages of medical and psychological aspects of mental health care based in primary care.
The Primary Care Liaison (PCL) team accepts referrals from Richmond GPs and other statutory/non-statutory services and provides consultations for GPs; outpatient assessments; and brief periods of interventions/follow up care for people with common mental health problems. PCL clinicians routinely provide medication and diagnostic reviews as well as referrals to specialist providers or community support agencies. In addition to this, PCL’s work closely with the Primary Care Networks across Richmond and Twickenham, offering line management and clinical supervision to junior mental health staff. The team also has an important role in promoting effective liaison between primary and secondary care mental health services throughout the borough of Richmond-upon-Thames.
The post holder will work as one of our Mental Health Practitioner within the Primary Care Liaison team (PCL) in the London Borough of Richmond-upon-Thames. The Primary Care Liaison team is an integrated part of the Richmond Wellbeing Service, working alongside colleagues delivering the IAPT psychological therapies program.
This is a front-line role requiring flexibility, robust clinical confidence, a positive, service-oriented approach, and the ability to effectively communicate with a wide array of professionals and stakeholders.
Please note that this role does not involve providing psychological therapy or counselling in IAPT.
The role requires a high degree of autonomy and self-management and in return you will receive weekly team clinical supervision, support in case management and opportunities for clinical and managerial development.
We would especially welcome candidates with experience in Quality Improvement and audit or service development more generally.

We have expert services, a rich history and a clear commitment to providing the best quality care for those with mental ill-health. The Care Quality Commission already rates our services as ‘good’ - we aspire to be ‘outstanding’.
This is a great time to join us. We are transforming the way we care for our communities to support our mission of Making Life Better Together. We have built two brand new mental health facilities at Springfield University Hospital, which are amongst the best in the world. More developments are planned across our sites and services.
We are inclusive and diverse and strive to be actively anti racist. We want to attract people from all backgrounds and experiences to enrich the work we do together. We are proud to co-produce and involve our local communities in all that we do.
We offer flexible working, career development and a variety of benefits to enable a positive, welcoming environment in which our people and their careers can thrive.
