The Team Lead will manage staff, oversee clinical service delivery, and facilitate the development and review of care planning and risk assessment. Although primarily a leadership role, the postholder may engage in up to 20% clinical work based on area needs and personal preference.

The postholder will communicate and work collaboratively with the general practice teams and Primary Care mental health team to meet the needs of patients, supporting the delivery of policy and procedures. They will liaise with other professionals and agencies both statutory and non-statutory and provide a link between primary and secondary services from a North Staffs Combined perspective. They will also support the delivery and the development of evidence-based pathways and interventions including the deliberate self-harm pathway and offer supervision and guidance to the Primary Care Mental Health workforce to develop and inform the model and approaches to delivery. The role will focus on the delivery of a high-quality clinical service to Service Users, their Families and Carers in primary care.
