ABOUT YOU

We are looking for someone who is:

• Empathetic, confident and compassionate, with a genuine commitment to improving the lives of people with SMI.
• A great communicator, confident in having open, supportive conversations with individuals who may be anxious or reluctant to engage.
• Organised and proactive, with the ability to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team.
• Comfortable using digital systems to record information and manage appointments.

Previous experience in community outreach, health facilitation, or mental health support is desirable but not essential – full training will be provided.

As an SMI Health Facilitator, you will:
- Work with GP practices and community mental health teams to identify people on SMI registers who have missed their annual physical health checks.
- Reach out to individuals by phone, in community venues, or via home visits to encourage attendance and explain the importance of the checks.
- Build trusting, non-judgmental relationships to overcome barriers and improve engagement.
- Carry out basic health checks (e.g., blood pressure, height, weight, pulse, and finger-prick tests).
- Support patients to access further services, signposting to Andover Mind’s mental health programs where appropriate.
- Collaborate with peer support workers, social prescribers, and GP staff to create a supportive care pathway.
- Develop and deliver a communication strategy to increase health check uptake across GP practices.
- Maintain accurate records on GP systems in line with GDPR and clinical governance requirements.
