This role will work across the GP practices within Congleton and Holmes Chapel to provide triage, early assessment, brief intervention / treatment and improved access to appropriate care pathways and provide evidence-based interventions to people experiencing first symptoms of mental un-wellness to those with more longer-term conditions. Ideally, we are looking for a candidate with extensive experience of providing mental health care and interventions.
