About Us:
Psychiatry UK is the UK’s leading provider of digital psychiatry services, working both privately and with the NHS to support children, teenagers and adults with expert, patient-centred care.
A career with Psychiatry UK allows you to expand your knowledge, enhance your skills, and gain valuable life experience—all while enjoying the flexibility of a remote full-time role. As part of a leading online mental health service, you'll collaborate with innovative, forward-thinking professionals in a dynamic, multidisciplinary team committed to making a real difference.
We're looking for compassionate and experienced Liaison/Triage Practitioners to join our established Liaison Nurse Team (LNT). In addition to supporting our well-established adult services and our recently launched North East and North Cumbria (NENC) Neurodevelopmental Triage Service, successful candidates will play an important role in the continued delivery and development of the Liaison Nurse Service as it expands to support our forthcoming Children and Young People (CYP) Right to Choose pathways.
This is a varied clinical role where you'll work across both the Liaison Nurse Team (LNT) and the North East and North Cumbria (NENC) Neurodevelopmental Triage Service.
As part of the Liaison Nurse Team, you'll provide specialist mental health support across both adult and Children and Young People (CYP) services. Working independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team, you'll undertake clinical reviews, assess and manage risk, support safeguarding processes, provide clinical advice and liaison, and help ensure patients receive the right care, at the right time, through the most appropriate pathway.
As part of the NENC Neurodevelopmental Triage Service, you'll undertake holistic neurodevelopmental triage and risk assessments for adults referred with possible neurodevelopmental conditions. Using evidence-based clinical judgement, you'll consider neurodevelopmental presentations, mental health needs, safeguarding concerns and functional impact to support timely access to the most appropriate assessment, treatment or care pathway.
Applicants must have experience working with children and young people within CAMHS or other CYP mental health services and be confident supporting adult patients. This role requires sound clinical judgement, excellent communication skills, and the ability to manage risk and navigate patients to the most appropriate care pathway.
Working closely with NHS partners, accredited providers and internal clinical teams, you'll help patients access the most appropriate support, treatment, diagnostic assessment or alternative care pathway. Your work will be central to ensuring people receive timely, equitable and person-centred care in line with national guidance and local commissioning priorities.
This is an exciting opportunity to make a meaningful difference within an innovative and evolving service, while contributing to Psychiatry UK's commitment to delivering accessible, responsive and high-quality mental health care.
This is a home-based role (applicants must reside in the UK), though occasional travel may be required for face-to-face meetings at various locations within the UK.
As our Liaison/Triage Practitioner you will:
Provide clinical support across adult services, Children and Young People (CYP) pathways, and the North East and North Cumbria (NENC) Neurodevelopmental Triage Service, adapting to service demand and organisational priorities.
Provide expert clinical support and advice to Psychiatrists, Prescribers and the wider multidisciplinary team.
Assess patients' mental state, clinical presentation and level of risk of children, young people and adult patients through telephone and video consultations.
Deliver timely clinical triage and risk assessments in line with Psychiatry UK policies and agreed care pathways.
Triage referrals for neurodevelopmental assessments using evidence-based clinical and functional criteria.

Undertake safeguarding assessments and ensure appropriate action is taken in line with organisational policies.

Maintain up-to-date knowledge of relevant legislation, national guidance, evidence-based practice and professional standards.
Participate in clinical supervision, mandatory training and continuing professional development to maintain professional competence.
Promote the values of Psychiatry UK, supporting colleagues and contributing to a positive, collaborative and patient-focused culture.
To succeed as our Liaison/Triage Practitioner, You will be a compassionate, confident and collaborative practitioner who communicates sensitively and builds positive relationships with patients, families, colleagues and external professionals. You will be comfortable working autonomously, using sound judgement and taking accountability for your clinical decisions, while recognising when to seek advice or escalate concerns. You will bring a calm, thoughtful and person-centred approach to complex or sensitive situations and be able to balance competing priorities in a busy remote service. Adaptable and proactive, you will contribute positively to a developing service, work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary team, and be committed to providing an accessible, responsive and high-quality experience for those using our services.
You will maintain a high level of clinical knowledge and professional competence appropriate to the role, keeping all mandatory and statutory training and professional registrations up to date.
