Job overview

We have an exciting opportunity for two Quality Assurance Clinicians to join a small but developing, dynamic multi-professional team dedicated to delivering high quality s117 and specialist placement package assurance and support, alongside supporting mental health quality at a time of service development.

The team has been part of the changes in Mental Health Commissioning and Quality Assurance, and have recently transitioned from the Birmingham and Solihull ICB into the newly formed Mental Health Provider Collaborative (MHPC) which is hosted by Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health Foundation Trust (BSMHFT).

Main duties of the job

These posts are for Mental Health & Learning Disability qualified clinicians / professionals for a team that works jointly with local authorities and commissioned organizations to process, fund, and undertake quality assurance reviews for both s117 aftercare packages and specialist hospital placements for Birmingham & Solihull ICS. There is an expectation of an ability to travel locally on a weekly basis and further afield on occasions.

You will be an experienced clinician from within a Mental Health and/or Learning Disability setting, either as a nurse, allied health professional, or social worker, and have an understanding of legal and clinical frameworks and pathways.

You will need to be self-motivated, have good clinical and organizational skills, with an eye for detail. The clinicians in the team hold a caseload of applications and reviews and need to be able to communicate with a broad range of people including providers, service users, families, and fellow clinicians. The post involves both self-directed/lone and team working.
