Job description

Overview

Since October 2020 the responsibility for the commissioning of Adult Secure Care mental health, learning disability and autism services has transferred from NHS England (NHSE) Specialised Commissioning to Provider Collaboratives (PCs). Fifteen Provider Collaboratives nationally coordinate and deliver care for adult patients requiring low and medium secure care. The East Midlands area Provider Collaborative is called IMPACT. IMPACT is a partnership of 9 NHS and independent sector providers and is led by Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS FT as the Lead Provider.

Through the Lead Provider arrangements IMPACT also sub-contracts other providers e.g. to support discharges from secure care, assure the quality of services and lead the necessary reporting regionally and nationally to NHSE.

This will be a varied and supportive role, working alongside IMPACT and partner organisations to monitor service improvement and support patients along their care pathway across the provider collaborative.
