The service provides bespoke and proactive support to identify and address the individual’s needs, placing them at the heart of their support.

A day in the life of a Mental Health & Wellbeing Practitioner…

A practitioner’s job is challenging but very rewarding, as you don’t only have the privilege to be part of and witness the development and recovery of the residents in your care but also the development of the team and individual workers you supervise.

Practitioners job is to ensure that the team are supporting the residents following the values and ethos of the organisation. As well as ensure that robust care plans are implemented and followed.

Practitioners train new workers on medication support according to the individual plan while following policy guidelines. Practitioners also provide support and supervision in line with organisational policy to several of the workers and will receive the relevant training and qualification required by the SSSC and Care Inspectorate.

Practitioners’ complete audits of the resident’s support plans to ensure that the quality of the support plans meet the standards required by the organisation.

As a practitioner in a service where no day is the same, it is important to be able to prioritise and delegate tasks, but it is also equally as important to make the environment both positive and welcoming for residents and the team.
