Inclusion (Integrated Mental Health and Substance Misuse) Team Manager - HMP Hewell

Are you seeking a Mental Health Team Manager position that truly makes a difference? Ready to bring your expertise into a unique and rewarding environment? Join us in prison healthcare and lead meaningful change at HMP Hewell.

Our Integrated Mental Health and Substance Misuse Service at HMP Hewell is looking for a dynamic, experienced, and qualified Mental Health Professional–ideally with experience in a prison or forensic setting–to join our progressive team.

Why HMP Hewell?

We maintain excellent working relationships with a range of partner agencies, including hospitals, community mental health teams, and substance misuse services. This collaborative approach ensures genuinely integrated care and seamless support for our service users, both within the prison and as they transition back into the community. We have introduced a targeted care pathway and a standardised approach to acute mental health and neurodiversity needs, making certain that the right support is delivered at the right time. Our innovative and forward‑thinking team is committed to a recovery‑focused approach, working collaboratively from initial assessment through to discharge. You will be joining a service recognised for its inclusive culture, professional development opportunities, and commitment to continuous improvement, including recent investment in autism and neurodiversity training for staff.

Main duties of the job

This is an exciting and varied leadership role for someone passionate about delivering high‑quality mental health care to some of society’s most vulnerable individuals. You will lead and manage a multidisciplinary team, coordinating the day‑to‑day provision of integrated wellbeing, mental health, and substance use healthcare within a custodial setting. Alongside your leadership responsibilities, you will hold a small clinical caseload, providing assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation of evidence‑based interventions. You will champion the delivery of care within a stepped care mental health model, ensuring robust referral management, allocation of named workers, and continuity of care. In addition, you will support the implementation and ongoing development of targeted care pathways, making sure that service users receive personalised support based on their individual needs. The role also involves fostering and maintaining strong working relationships with internal and external partners to ensure collaborative and holistic care. Finally, you will provide supervision, monitor standards, and support the professional development of your team.
