Job description

Are you passionate about reshaping mental health care? Do you believe in the power of community, collaboration with community partners and local voluntary care sector, inclusion, and peer support to transform lives? We’re launching an innovative community care centre inspired by world-class models like the Trieste Mental Health Community Network, Navigo in Grimsby, and Clubhouse models in New York and Brixton.

We have an incredibly exciting and rare opportunity to be part of a new community mental health pilot. This centre will hold a major national profile with NHS England who are hoping that the pilot will radically transform how we deliver mental health care in the UK.

We are looking for dedicated staff to help us pioneer this revolutionary approach to care.

What We Offer

• A Unique Care Model: Join a programme focused on community, social inclusion, and holistic recovery.
• Supportive Environment: Collaborate with peers, contribute to a recovery-oriented care system, and make a real difference.
• Development Opportunities: Be part of a pioneering team shaping the future of mental health care, with training and career growth built in.

The post holder will provide admin support to the clinical team and will also provide admin support to various panels in Lewisham, taking minutes, dealing with and managing contracts and invoices for funded placements i.e. Residential and Nursing care homes. You will work with your counterpart in the council with the spreadsheet for the placements, invoices etc. and to provide required data for the funded placements. You would manage e-roster for the team.

South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (SLaM) offer the widest range of NHS mental health services in the UK as well as substance misuse services for people who are addicted to drugs and alcohol. We work closely with the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience (IoPPN), King’s College London and are part of King’s Health Partners Academic Health Sciences Centre. There are very few organisations in the world that have such wide-ranging capabilities working with mental illness. Our scope is unique because it is built on three major foundations: care and treatment, science and research, and training.

SLaM employ around 5000 staff and serve a local population of 1.1 million people. We have more than 230 services including inpatient wards, outpatient and community services. Currently, provide inpatient care for approximately 5,300 people each year and treat more than 45,000 patients in the community in Croydon, Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark; as well as substance misuse services for residents of Bexley, Bromley and Greenwich.

By coming to work at SLaM, you will gain experience of being part of an organisation with a rich history and international reputation in mental health care. You will have access to professional development and learning opportunities and have the chance to work alongside people who are world leaders in their field.
