We are seeking an experienced, innovative, and enthusiastic Business Support Manager to join our exciting new Universities of Cambridge and Anglia Ruskin Mental Health Student Service (UCARMHSS) pilot which is set to launch in 2025.
This new service will offer multiple pathways: psychiatry, psychology, and care coordination, allowing students to access tailored interventions. The goal is to improve access to support for students' mental health, inform about available support, and guide them in managing their mental health.
Key features of the service include:
• A focus on student needs rather than diagnosis, with every referral undergoing thorough triage and, where necessary, formulation assessments.
• Proactive support to help students succeed academically and socially at university.
• Flexible access to services, with face-to-face, telephone, video, and other online options available to meet individual preferences.
• Comprehensive care coordination, encompassing assessment, case management, self-management support, and liaison with university services.
This role is responsible for providing full business support to the Universities of Cambridge and Anglia Ruskin Mental Health Student Service.
The post holder will work closely with the UCARMHSS Service Manager to support with business delivery for the service and act as the administration lead in a team that includes clinical and non-clinical staff.
Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust is a health and social care organisation dedicated to providing high-quality care with compassion to improve the health and wellbeing of the people we care for, as well as supporting and empowering them to lead a fulfilling life.
Our clinical teams deliver many NHS services, not only via inpatient and primary care settings, but also within the community. These services include children's, adult and older people's mental health, forensic and specialist mental health, learning disabilities, primary care and liaison psychiatry, substance misuse, social care, research and development.
To achieve our goal, we look to recruit high-calibre candidates who share our vision and values. As an equal opportunities employer, we encourage applications from all sectors of the community, particularly from under-represented groups including people with long term conditions and members of our ethnic minority and LGBTQ+ communities.
