<h2>Job summary</h2>
  <p><strong>The Primary Care Complex Emotional Needs Service</strong> is brief psychological service aimed at improving the lives of people who may struggle with emotional and relational difficulties associated with a diagnosis of personality disorder.</p>
<p>With additional investment we are now extending our support to individuals with Complex PTSD (cPTSD), bridging the gap between primary care and secondary mental health services. We are looking for a skilled and motivated Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner (MHWP) to join our team to provide brief interventions and co-facilitate therapeutic groups for clients with complex emotional needs and cPTSD.</p>



  <h3>Main duties of the job</h3>
  <p>You will deliver well-being focused brief interventions to individuals with CPTSD and other complex emotional difficulties. In addition to providing time limited brief interventions, you will co-facilitate psychoeducational groups working alongside a multidisciplinary team to provide integrated, trauma-informed care. You will also be supported to join our training team which has a mandate to provide training to other AWP services on assessing and formulating clients with complex emotional needs.</p>



  <h3>About us</h3>
  <p>We are AWP (Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust): a diverse organisation with over 5,000 dedicated staff providing inpatient and community-based mental health care.</p>
<p>We provide services from a range of locations to approximately 1.8 million people living in Bath and North East Somerset (B&amp;NES), Bristol, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Swindon, across the county of Wiltshire and in parts of Dorset.</p>
<p>Our outstanding people promote mental health and wellbeing. The expertise and resources within AWP are dedicated to a person-centred approach for those who use our services and for all employees. We recognise that happy and fulfilled employees give better care. </p>
<p>At AWP we actively encourage applicants from all backgrounds; we are particularly keen to encourage applications from people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, those with disabilities and from the LGBTQ+ community. We want people to bring their unique blend of experiences, backgrounds, perspectives and knowledge to AWP, as diversity makes us stronger.</p>
