We are seeking an experienced Mental Health Practitioner Consultant to provide expert clinical guidance, consultation and support across a range of mental health services. This is an opportunity to influence high-quality, person-centred practice while helping colleagues develop their skills and confidence in supporting people with complex emotional and psychological needs.
You will provide specialist assessments, formulation and advice for individuals presenting with a range of mental health concerns. Working collaboratively with multidisciplinary professionals, you will contribute to care planning, risk management and review processes, ensuring that interventions are safe, proportionate and responsive to each person’s circumstances. You will also offer consultation on complex cases and support effective communication with families, carers and partner services where appropriate.
A key part of the role will be promoting evidence-based practice and strengthening clinical standards. You will contribute to supervision, reflective practice, training and professional development, helping teams to build their knowledge of mental health, safeguarding, trauma-informed approaches and recovery-focused support. You may also be involved in service improvement projects, audits, policy development and the evaluation of outcomes.
Applicants should hold a relevant professional qualification and current registration with the appropriate UK regulatory body, where applicable. You will have substantial experience working in mental health settings, including experience of assessing and managing risk, responding to complex presentations and advising other professionals. Strong knowledge of relevant legislation, safeguarding procedures and clinical governance requirements is essential.
You will be an excellent communicator with the ability to build positive relationships at all levels. A calm, compassionate and analytical approach is important, alongside the confidence to work independently and make sound professional judgements. We are looking for someone who is organised, adaptable and committed to equality, inclusion, confidentiality and respectful, recovery-oriented care.
