Oldham, United Kingdom Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust Full time

An exciting opportunity to join the Greater Manchester Inreach Assessment Center (GMAIC).

GMAIC’s role is to offer gatekeeping assessments, bed management and case management to any CYP, who may require a Tier 4 Inpatient admission. We work in collaboration with our NHS inpatient providers, for any Tier 4 referral/request for an Inpatient admission.

The gatekeeping assessment involves establishing if the threshold has been met for an inpatient admission, or if alternative least restrictive options could be attempted initially. We also think about level of relational security is required and what unit will best suit the needs of the young person.

The bed management function involves daily liaison with CAMHS Lead Provider Collaborative (LPC) and Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs), to seek approval/funding and ensure our CYP are appropriately placed within different types of Inpatient settings. GMAIC then offer Case Management for any CYP who is placed in an inpatient bed within the Independent sector, for any CYP with a diagnosis of ASD/LD, CYP’s who have had a previous number of inpatient admissions or with extremely complex needs and CYP who will be turning 18 whilst an inpatient.

You will have the opportunity to make profound improvements in how crisis care is experienced by young people and those who care for them.

You will be working closely with our inpatient colleagues and have responsibility of managing the Single Point of Access for all Inpatient referrals for the GM population of 13-18 year old young people who are being considered for inpatient care.

This will involve working with CYP with a variety of mental health difficulties and diagnosis such as Psychosis, Bipolar Disorder, Emotional dysregulation Schizophrenia, Depression/anxiety, LD, ASD, ADHD, PTSD, Conduct disorder and Attachment difficulties.

You will also have the opportunity to work closely with external services such as social care, CAMHS, FCAMHS, CMHT, CEDS, EIT, HTT to ensure the correct pathways are in place, to support our CYP’s discharge from hospital.

We have seen already how we have positively impacted in ensuring that our young people are being supported within local services, and with the help of our colleagues within RRT reducing the dependency on inpatient care, meaning young people are getting supported at home, in a timely manner.

As a member of the Greater Manchester Assessment and Inreach Centre you will be at the heart of a well-funded, well organised, hugely valued work-stream.

According to our staff, we are the most improved mental health and learning disability trust to work for and the best in the north west.

We are proud to provide high quality mental health and learning disability services, both inpatient and in the community across five boroughs of Greater Manchester - Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Stockport and Tameside and Glossop.

Our vision is for a happier and more hopeful life for everyone in our communities and our staff work hard to deliver the very best care for the people who use our services. We’re really proud of our #PennineCarePeople and do everything we can to make sure we’re a great place to work.

Lead and co-ordinate an effective service to ensure there are safe and effective pathways in place for all young people across the footprint into specialised inpatient settings within the NHS and independent sector.

Maintain and co-ordinate the Single Point of Access for all referrals into regional specialised inpatient beds on a daily basis.

To ensure the provision of a 5 day, high quality clinical service to young people before, during and after admission to a specialist inpatient setting, co-ordinating bed management for the whole of the NHS Greater Manchester GAU and ED beds. To also work closely with our providers so the out of hours offer is consistent and meets the needs for those young people.

To manage and register all referrals into the team and co-ordinate full and timely responses offering alternatives to admission where appropriate.

To remain committed to ensuring a clear, timely and optimum outcome and resolution for all referrals.
