Senior Liaison Practitioner

Due to an expansion in the team an exciting opportunity has arisen to recruit a new colleague as a Mental Health Liaison Practitioner with the service based at Stepping Hill Hospital in Stockport. If you are a registered mental health professional with experience in assessing and supporting individuals of any age and you would like to be part of a growing and developing service we would like to hear from you.

As part of the Mental Health Liaison service you can expect professional support and development in this exciting and challenging area of work. You will be joining a friendly and supportive team at Stepping Hill Hospital and will receive regular management and clinical supervision and have opportunities to engage in CPD. As a valued member of the liaison team you will be fully involved in all service developments and given opportunities to support quality improvement.

Significant developments have taken place over the past 12 months with acute trust colleagues supported by NHS England which means this is a great time to join the team. The service runs 7 days a week to support wards and 24/7 to support the Emergency Department, so posts will be worked on a shift basis to include nights, weekends and bank holidays.

We are proud to provide high quality mental health and learning disability services, both inpatient and in the community across five boroughs of Greater Manchester - Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Stockport and Tameside and Glossop. Our vision is for a happier and more hopeful life for everyone in our communities and our staff work hard to deliver the very best care for the people who use our services.

We’re really proud of our #Pennine Care People and do everything we can to make sure we’re a great place to work. All individuals regardless of race, age, disability, ethnicity, nationality, gender, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, religion or belief, marriage and civil partnership are encouraged to apply for this post. We would also encourage applications from individuals with a lived experience of mental illness, either individually or as a carer.
