We have an exciting opportunity coming up in the Adult Services team at Dorset Mind.

Active Monitoring is a programme of supportive intervention and guided self-help to improve mental health and wellbeing. Active Monitoring Practitioners offer a series of interventions over a six-week period. They provide support through pre-designed guided psycho-educational programmes. We offer a number of pathways for clients to choose that will guide their progress throughout your sessions. These pathways include anxiety and panic attacks, low mood and depression, managing stress, managing anger, low self-esteem, managing isolation, and grief and loss. Active Monitoring Practitioners will help clients to select the one that is right for them.

The successful candidate will be offering the Active Monitoring appointments via remote working and at GP surgeries on set days on a 1:1 basis. Please note there are various working models available for these roles. Some roles will be offered remotely, whilst others will require a hybrid working model where practitioners may be visiting surgeries on set days of the week. Both full time and part time hours will be considered.

You will work closely with our existing well-structured services already embedded in the PCNs with specialisms in Children Active Monitoring, and triage assessments.
