**About the role**:
Community Mental Health Services in Brighton & Hove has a well-established Section 75 (S.75) agreement in place. This agreement contributes to the improvement in mental health and wellbeing and results in easier access to a more responsive mental health service.

The S.75 agreement between Brighton and Hove City Council and Sussex Partnership Foundation Trust has been in place for many years and has meant several Social Care staff have been co-located within the Trust to deliver statutory duties. This way of working in close partnership has been valued by both organisations, and by those that use our services, and this new agreement seeks to maintain and strengthen this collaborative way of working.

The S.75 agreement serves as a significant tool in achieving the ambitions to transform adults and older adults’ community mental health services and reduce health inequalities.

In practice, Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and Brighton and Hove City Council delegate tasks to each organisation to ensure a joined-up health and social care offer to those that use our services. Relevant training and support will be provided when acting on behalf of the other organisation and it also means that you're able to access a number of other training, learning and development opportunities from both organisations.

- Ensuring that support continues to meet the outcomes the individual has identified
- Ensuring carers are identified and supported
- Preventing crisis or breakdown of support
- Ensuring the quality of the support provided
- Ensuring that council resources are invested at an appropriate level to meet assessed, eligible needs
- Identify potential safeguarding concerns
- Preventing, reducing or delaying the development of needs in the future

Under the supervision of registered Social Workers, you will undertake reviews, assessments, professional interventions and other duties relating to individuals, families and carers. Working as part of a team, these duties are informed by legislation, statutory guidance and policy and procedures relating to the social care of adults and their carers. In order to fulfil these duties, you will be required to work collaboratively with all stakeholders to improve outcomes and promote wellbeing, and demonstrate knowledge in the areas of personalisation, mental capacity and social models of support.- An excellent knowledge of local services in the community
- Strong organisational skills, with the ability to work at pace, planning and prioritising their workload with mínimal support
- We can also offer you a range of benefits including:
- an induction programme
- a manageable caseload
- the opportunity to enhance your knowledge and skills
- paid time off to undertake job specific training and development
- regular supportive team meetings
- one-to-one supervision meetings
