The Suffolk Secure Services Forensic Community Mental Health Team provide recovery-focused community care. This is for offenders who have been, or are being, discharged from a secure unit.
In 2021, our community services were awarded some collaborative funds to focus on service user progression and achieving the best for the service user by reducing the risks of re-admission to secure settings, reducing length of stay in secure settings and supporting with more community resources to aid recovery and step down from secure settings.
We are looking for a highly skilled, motivated, and passionate Band 7 Clinical Team Manager to join our Suffolk Team. This is a team with a wealth of experienced colleagues who are focused on recovery and making a difference, thereby having a positive impact on the quality of life for our service users.
The right candidate will lead and motivate the team and will continue the excellent work already ongoing with our service users and develop further opportunities for the team. We have recently had a very successful QSR and we would like you to continue with those improvements to achieve an overall rating of outstanding from the CQC.
