Job overview
Community transformation is the largest programme of change across Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust (PCFT), directly supporting the vision set out in The Community Mental Health Framework and the NHS Long Term Plan for a place-based community mental health model, with modern, integrated, services offering a whole-person, whole-population health approach, aligned with the new Primary Care Networks.
This is an exciting opportunity for talented, experienced project managers to support the wider programme team in realising this vision.
These are pivotal roles within the programme team, supporting the Programme Director, Transformation Programme Manager and the Strategic Operational/Clinical Lead, requiring the postholder to work in partnership with colleagues to deliver transformational change, engaging at a senior level with a wide range of stakeholders across the Trust, and across relevant Greater Manchester partner organisations.
The postholders will report to the Transformation Programme Manager and will be responsible for providing expert project / improvement knowledge and techniques to support in the co-ordination, scoping, and implementation of work streams under the Community Transformation Programme. These roles will also support the programme and workstreams in ensuring projects are established, run, and monitored as part of the Trust Quality Improvement Framework.
Main duties of the job
Transforming the community pathway is one of the key Trust priorities with regards to supporting our drive for care closer to home and community first. Delivering resilient and well-resourced community services is key to reducing admissions and ultimately reducing current costs in the system associated with out of area treatments.
These roles will support several projects within the wider programme of work, including, but not limited to:
* Further development of Living Well models and associated governance and clinical responsibility work.
* Levelling up and development of Community Mental Health Teams (CMHT).
* To support the move away from care co-ordination and the development of key workers working in a Multi-Disciplinary Team approach.
* Moving the Trust away from the Care Programme Approach, to implement DIALOG+ and Patient Reported Outcome Measures.
* Development of new models of integration with adult social care.
These roles may be required to support with other projects/programmes within the wider Trust Transformation Programme.
These roles will provide essential operational support across the five localities that PCFT delivers services in, working under the guidance of the Programme Director and Transformation Programme Manager. They can help streamline project timelines, manage logistics, support programme governance, and monitor programme Key Performance Indicators to support the overarching goals of the programme.
