Applications are invited for the post of Primary Care Mental Health Practitioner in the Student Advisory & Wellbeing Department, Academic Services.

Two part time positions are available; this vacancy will be required to work Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday each week.

Royal Holloway, University of London, is ranked in the top 30 of all UK universities. Through world class research, the dedication of our staff and the feel of the Royal Holloway experience, ours is a community that inspires individuals to succeed academically, socially and personally.

We are excited to have created the role of Primary Care Mental Health Practitioner (2 x 3 day per week roles) to work alongside the current university Student Advisory and Wellbeing Department, whilst also embedded with the onsite NHS GP Surgery team. Working closely with these professionals you will contribute to the positive and supportive university experience we strive to provide for our students. This is a new post whose purpose is to:

  • Provide mental healthcare to those Royal Holloway students who require support in primary care but who do not require secondary care level input. 
  • Maintain a caseload as well as referring on to IAPT, GPs, specialist services and university support services, among others. 
  • Form, with the GP team, a single point of access for triage and assessment, and referral, if required, onto specialist mental health services.
  • Support students transitioning out of secondary care, into primary care, which may include students moving from different geographical areas.

You will work as part of the multi-disciplinary Student Advisory & Wellbeing department and will contribute to the positive impact this department has on the student experience and student retention. With a mental health qualification and significant experience (5 years or more) of working in a multi-disciplinary mental health setting you will carry out mental health triage, assessment, brief and longer-term therapeutic support, internal and external referral and follow up. The post holder will maintain effective relationships with external agencies across the NHS and voluntary sectors and act as a contact for the effective referral of individual students to and from these agencies. The role holder will be located close to the GP surgery to support close working with the teams there. In addition to working with students you will also lead, if / as required, projects or training with Academic Departments & Schools and Professional Services at the university to foster greater mental wellbeing and resilience amongst the student community

In return we offer a highly competitive rewards and benefits package including generous annual leave and training and development opportunities. The post is based in Egham, Surrey where the College is situated in a beautiful, leafy campus near to Windsor Great Park and within commuting distance from London.
