Ensure people receive appropriate information, advice, signposting and preventative support whilst awaiting longer-term support.
Lead effective partnership working with Community Mental Health Teams, Primary Care, Housing, NHS Trusts, Integrated Care Boards, voluntary organisations and wider community partners.
Drive service improvement through performance management, quality assurance, data analysis and continuous learning and manage staffing resources, workforce planning, budgets and operational performance to ensure efficient, high-quality and legally compliant service delivery, maintaining effective team capacity and capability.
