Specialist Keyworker

We are leading the way with mental health transformation projects. Multi-million-pound schemes to transform patient environments and radically redesign community services are currently underway, as part of our commitment to reshaping the future of mental healthcare.

We offer options for flexible working and provide development pathways and opportunities. We have a proud partnership with the University of Lincoln and the Lincoln Medical School, which has expanded our academic offerings to nurture talent across the Trust.

We offer 24-hour services within our Inpatient, Crisis and SPA teams, if you are successfully appointed to posts in these areas or others that might have specified, you will be required to work unsociable hours and shift patterns.

The team will be hosted within the Transforming Care Liaison Service, but work across the integrated care system and look to:

- Work with all system partners for and with the family and CYP, to ensure that those with the most complex needs, initially those at risk of admission or in hospital, receive appropriate personalised, integrated support including the implementation of Care, -Education and Treatment Review (CETR) recommendations.
- Provide cross system knowledge and experience to help families navigate services and have a degree of independence from those services to facilitate providing family focussed support and challenge to system partners when necessary.
- Work with children, young people and families identified as medium or high risk (amber or red) on the Dynamic Support Register (DSR) including those who have complex needs, at risk of harm and those with adverse childhood experiences.
- Works with young people and families where admission occurs without CETR. The Local Area Emergency Protocol or post admission CETR should trigger referral and the timely start of involvement.
- Coordinate support at pace to avoid admission. Where admission is deemed necessary following a community CETR, the keyworker should continue their involvement throughout inpatient treatment, to facilitate timely discharge, well managed transition, and full implementation of CETR recommendations for community support.

Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust provides mental health services and a number of learning disability, autism and social care services in the county of Lincolnshire. Employing around 2,800 staff, and serving a population of over 766,000, our people lie at the heart of everything we do.

You could be part of a Trust rated by staff as one of the best mental health and learning disability trusts in England, in an area heralded as a fantastic place to live and work. We firmly believe the key to high quality care is a contented workforce. This is reflected in our Care Quality Commission rating of ‘outstanding’ for well-led and ‘good’ overall. In the most recent National NHS Staff Survey, our staff rated us as the number one trust nationally for staff morale and one of the top scoring NHS Trusts in the Midlands for being compassionate and inclusive. We’re really proud of this

We are also leading the way in transforming care, with multi-million-pound transformation of patient environments and radical redesign of community services.

This is the time to join and help redesign our services of the future. We offer options for flexible working and provide a wide range of training and promotion opportunities in all professions. We support and celebrate diversity, have active staff networks groups and are always looking at what more we can do to support our staff.
