Job summary

The Mental Health Practitioner is the Enable team's specialist for working-age adults whose mental health affects their ability to work. You will see patients referred through Enable triage, assess their mental health, risk and work situation, and agree a time-limited, work-focused plan that supports them to stay in or return to work.

You will also be the team's source of mental health expertise. You will advise and upskill colleagues completing workability plans, and help shape how the pilot manages mental health presentations. This is a primary care, early-intervention role; it is not a crisis or secondary care service. Patients needing longer-term or specialist treatment are referred on through agreed pathways.

Main duties of the job

Clinical assessment and intervention

• Carry out holistic bio-psychosocial assessments of adults referred with common mental health problems (for example anxiety, depression and work-related stress) by telephone, video or face to face.

• Complete a structured risk assessment at every contact. Escalate urgent risk the same day through the crisis, safeguarding and GP pathways, and record the decision and rationale.

• Agree a time-limited, work-focused plan with each patient, typically an assessment and up to three follow-up contacts. Draw on evidence-based approaches such as motivational interviewing, behavioural activation, problem solving, guided self-help and graded return to work.

• Use validated outcome measures at agreed points (PHQ-9, GAD-7 and the Work and Social Adjustment Scale) to track progress and inform decisions.

• Refer or signpost to NHS Talking Therapies (including employment advisers), community mental health teams, Access to Work, the Enable Social Prescriber and voluntary sector services, and follow up that the referral was received.

• Provide clear, concise feedback to the referring clinician and the patient's GP, including any recommendations on medication for the prescriber to consider. The post holder will undertake comprehensive mental health assessments and make referrals through agreed pathways.

4. Give the patient's GP and the referring clinician clear, concise feedback, including any recommendations on medication for the prescriber to consider.

5. Use validated outcome measures at agreed points (such as the MSK-HQ and the Work and Social Adjustment Scale) to track progress and inform decisions.

6. The post holder will work within their professional registration, accredited competencies, local commissioning arrangements and MBPCC governance framework.

About us

Enable is one of four national pilots funded by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to test a better fit note process, and it is the most clinical of the four. MBPCC delivers it under an NHS contract across the Barrow and Mid Furness Primary Care Networks.

For participating practices, every fit note is issued by the multidisciplinary Enable service rather than the GP practice. Working patients who agree to take part receive a workability assessment and a personalised workability plan that focuses on what they can do and how to stay in, or return to, work. The pilot generates data and learning for the DWP to shape future national policy

About Enable and MBPCC

Enable is one of four national pilots funded by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to test a better fit note process, and it is the most clinical of the four. MBPCC delivers it under an NHS contract across the Barrow and Mid Furness Primary Care Networks.

For participating practices, every fit note is issued by the multidisciplinary Enable service rather than the GP practice. Working patients who agree to take part receive a workability assessment and a personalised workability plan that focuses on what they can do and how to stay in, or return to, work. The pilot generates data and learning for the DWP to shape future national policy.

Job purpose

The First Contact Physiotherapist is the Enable team's MSK specialist for working-age adults whose MSK condition affects their ability to work. You will assess, diagnose and manage patients referred through Enable triage without the need for a GP appointment, and agree a work-focused plan that supports them to stay in or return to work.

You will also be the team's source of MSK expertise. You will advise and upskill colleagues completing workability plans, and help shape how the pilot manages MSK presentations. Patients needing investigation, specialist or longer-term treatment are referred on through agreed pathways.

Key responsibilities

Clinical assessment and management

1. Work as an autonomous first contact practitioner, assessing and diagnosing adults with undifferentiated MSK conditions by telephone, video or face to face.

2. Screen for serious pathology and red flags at every contact, and escalate urgent concerns the same day through the GP and relevant emergency or specialist pathways.

3. Provide evidence-based management including advice, education, self-management support and exercise prescription, and agree realistic goals with each patient.

4. Give the patient's GP and the referring clinician clear, concise feedback, including any recommendations on medication for the prescriber to consider.

5. Use validated outcome measures at agreed points (such as the MSK-HQ and the Work and Social Adjustment Scale) to track progress and inform decisions.

6. The post holder will work within their professional registration, accredited competencies, local commissioning arrangements and MBPCC governance framework.

7. The post holder may request investigations where permitted by professional standards, local policy and individual competency sign-off, including diagnostic imaging and pathology tests relevant to musculoskeletal assessment and management.

8. Investigation requests must be clinically justified, recorded within the patient record and undertaken in accordance with local referral and diagnostic pathways.

9. Any investigations or referrals outside the post holder's authorised scope of practice must be discussed with, or referred to, the Enable Clinical Lead, GP or other appropriately qualified clinician.

10. The post holder will maintain evidence of competency for all investigation requesting activity and participate in audit and clinical supervision arrangements.

Work and health

1. Complete workability assessments and workability plans for patients whose main barrier to work is an MSK condition.

2. Assess the physical demands of the patient's job and recommend practical adjustments (phased return, amended hours or duties, workplace or equipment changes).

3. With the patient's explicit agreement only, communicate with employers to support adjustments and a sustainable return to work.

4. Assess fitness for work and issue fit notes in line with DWP guidance, once signed off as competent by the Clinical Lead. Physiotherapists are legally able to certify fit notes.

5. Meet the service turnaround standards for fit notes and workability plans, raising early any capacity pressures that put them at risk.

Multidisciplinary working and advice

1. Act as the MSK lead within the Enable team, giving same-day advice to Occupational Health Nurses, the ANP and other colleagues on MSK presentations.

2. Take part in multidisciplinary case discussions and present complex cases, particularly where physical and mental health needs overlap.

3. Develop and deliver short training sessions for the team on MSK conditions, red flags and work-focused conversations.

Records, data and governance

1. Keep accurate, contemporaneous clinical records in EMIS, using the agreed Enable templates and codes, and use AccuRx and Florey questionnaires as the service requires.

2. Record the data items needed for the DWP evaluation fully and on time. Data accuracy is a condition of the pilot's funding.

3. Check that each patient's consent and eligibility for the service and for DWP data sharing are in place before completing a workability plan, and follow the Enable privacy notice.

4. Report incidents, near misses and safeguarding concerns through MBPCC processes, and take part in audit, case review and service evaluation.

Service development

1. Help design and refine the Enable MSK pathway, including triage criteria, referral thresholds and escalation routes, as the pilot moves from the first two practices to all practices in both PCNs.

2. Feed patient experience and clinical learning into pilot meetings and DWP reporting.

3. Contribute to written protocols, patient information and the final pilot evaluation.

Professional development

1. Maintain HCPC registration and practise in line with the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) Code of Professional Values and Behaviour.

2. Attend monthly clinical supervision and annual appraisal, and use reflective practice to improve your work.

3. Complete MBPCC mandatory training and the DWP fit note training for healthcare professionals.
