About the role
In this rewarding role, you’ll work one-to-one with people experiencing mild to moderate mental health challenges. Through face‑to‑face, phone, or online sessions, you’ll help patients explore their wellbeing needs, set meaningful goals, and develop practical emotional coping skills.

Together, we provide compassionate, joined‑up care for our local communities across the New Forest coast.
As a Wellbeing Assessor, you will undertake assessments of patients to understand their individual needs and identify the most appropriate support for them, working collaboratively with other partners in the Primary Care Mental Health Service and associated organisations.
