Job overview

CPFT has been chosen by NHS England as one of the national exemplar pilot sites for the redesign and transformation of primary and community mental health care. The goal of this project is to develop and deliver a new service paradigm that provides a seamless mental health care pathway and eliminates gaps between services.

There is a significant overlap between addictions and severe mental illness, and undiagnosed, unmanaged mental health issues make recovery harder.

Patients with a dual diagnosis often do not receive an initial diagnosis or adequate treatment because they miss appointments or do not follow treatment protocols.

The new Dual Diagnosis Outreach Team will operate as an outreach service, working flexibly with service users and other agencies. Many individuals will be known to CGL Aspire, but there are also adults in Peterborough with addiction problems and undiagnosed mental health issues who lack access to Aspire or mental health care and may be homeless.

Main duties of the job

Assist with data collection to enhance service quality and meet key performance indicators. Ensure timely data entry and encourage service user feedback to improve services.

Successful applicants will be strong team workers with enthusiasm for stakeholder engagement. This role offers an exciting opportunity to work with a busy, innovative team aiming to improve mental health outcomes in Peterborough.

Working for our organisation

Cambridgeshire & Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust provides high-quality, compassionate health and social care to improve wellbeing and empower individuals to lead fulfilling lives.

Our services include mental health, physical health, forensic, learning disabilities, primary care, substance misuse, social care, and research.

We seek high-caliber candidates who share our values. We are an equal opportunities employer, encouraging applications from all community sectors, especially underrepresented groups including disabled people, ethnic minorities, and LGBTQ+ communities.

Please note: We may close the advert early if sufficient applications are received. We cannot offer sponsorship for all roles; applications for roles without sponsorship will be rejected.
