Overview

Specialist perinatal mental health services are vital because of the potential detrimental impact of perinatal mental health disorders for the mother, the baby, their relationship and that with the partner and other children. The model focuses on the mother, the baby, and their relationship within the context of the family. The Model of Care aligns with the National Maternity Strategy and is hub-based, developed in a hub and spoke format to include all 19 maternity services. Each hub has a specialist perinatal mental health service led by a Consultant Psychiatrist in perinatal psychiatry, with a multidisciplinary team including a Senior Perinatal Mental Health Social Worker.

Overall job role

The primary purpose of this Senior Perinatal Mental Health Social Worker (SPMHSW) is to provide a recovery-oriented, client-centred social work service to women attending the Specialist Perinatal Mental Health Service. The SPMHSW will:

  • work as part of a multidisciplinary team delivering a coordinated approach to client care
  • bring a systemic perspective to assessments and interventions, assessing the person in their environment
  • provide expertise on social factors impacting the service user's mental health and family
  • emphasise Family Focused Practice and psychosocial assessments and therapeutic interventions that address the mother's mental health, the mother-infant relationship, the Partner/Supporter, and the broader family and community system
  • be a member of the hub-based specialist Perinatal Mental Health team and collaborate with colleagues in other hubs to ensure seamless service

Organisation and seniority

The role is within the hub-based specialist Perinatal Mental Health team for the hospital group, with multidisciplinary collaboration across hubs.
