Main Duties and Responsibilities

· Take referrals from the GMMH (Greater Manchester Mental Health) Referral and Assessment Hub and build trusting relationships with people so that they receive the support they need to recover and stay well.

· Build relationships with other key professionals to ensure individuals achieve their goals (e.g. GPs, social care, community services etc).

· Support the development of a supportive and productive referral route into and out of the service, managing exit from the service safely.

· Support the development of this new service, responding professionally to changes as we improve and evolve our working practice collaboratively.

· Provide a trauma-informed service to people: listening, offering safety, choice and empowerment to the people you support so they can effectively engage with services and make sustainable links in with their communities.

· Identify and deliver appropriate interventions.

· Identify when people need referrals to secondary services or specialist mental health services and make appropriate referrals.

· Independently travel to visit people in a range of settings across in Manchester and across Greater Manchester, adhering to lone working and risk management procedures.

· To integrate effectively with colleagues at Manchester Mind, taking a “one team approach” to deliver a seamless service, understanding the different roles in the Recovery in Community team and recognising each other's strengths.

· Maintain accurate and up-to-date case notes and records using agreed case management systems, following standard operating procedures.

· Support people to engage in our service through coproduction, engagement events and feedback forms.

· Contribute to service reporting, monitoring and evaluation as required.

· Identify additional needs that people have and highlight them to Manchester Mind with a view to sharing them with Greater Manchester Mental Health Trust and commissioners.
