Senior Nurse Practitioner

We are looking for a motivated individual to join our exciting, friendly and supportive team. Sutton Primary Liaison Recovery Service (PLRS) includes a Single Point of Access (SPA) and a Primary Care Recovery Team. Sutton SPA screens, triages and provides assessment for working age adults aged 18 - 74 presenting with serious and or enduring mental illness and risk deemed too complex to be managed under Primary Care Services. Following assessment clinicians make appropriate onward referrals to internal and external teams with recommendations and signposting. We work closely with other teams to facilitate appropriate transfer of service users to internal teams within the trust including Adult Community Teams, Acute Care Pathway Services and Teams, Specialist Services and Taking Therapy Services. We also work in close partnership with GP commissioners and other key partners, including voluntary and third sector organisations.

Please note the role is part time 2 days a week only.

The post holder will be responsible for carrying out comprehensive assessments. This will require working across the organisation and professional boundaries, to bring about improvement in the care and treatment of service users experiencing mental health issues and their families. They will develop an integrated service that functions as the front door for mental health patients accessing the service looking at service users mental, physical and social needs and making clear and clinically appropriate care plans, making appropriate referrals and communicating outcomes to service users, referrer, and family/carers.

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 as we invest a further £120m to upgrade and modernise our estate by 2027.

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.

Come and join our inclusive teams and help our patients on their recovery journey.
