Mental Health Practitioner - South Wales
Combat Stress Community Outreach
Band 5 - dependent on experience
Combat Stress is a charity for ex-Service men and women, and recognised as the leading specialist provider of mental health care to Veterans of the Armed Forces and Merchant Service. We have now developed an Outreach Service to provide increased support to Veterans, their families and carers in their homes and communities.
On the 11 March 2010 Combat Stress launched The Enemy Within Appeal, with a goal to raise over £30 million.
The funds raised so far have now enabled us to put in place a national network of Community Outreach Teams, which enable Veterans and their families to receive support and treatment within their own communities, whilst continuing to provide short-stay residential treatment in any one of the charity's three existing regional treatment centres.
We are now in a position to recruit for our South Wales region.
You will work with our existing Regional Welfare Officers and Community Psychiatric Nurse as well as statutory health and social care bodies and local voluntary providers of mental health care across a certain region. You will be responsible for the provision of high quality clinical support in the form of assessment, and delivery of individual and group therapies and will provide family/carer advice, counselling and support.
The role will cover a wide geographical location and frequent travel within this area will be a necessary part of this role.
