Job Description

Since October 2020 the responsibility for the commissioning of Adult Secure Care mental health, learning disability and autism services has transferred from NHS England (NHSE) Specialised Commissioning to Provider Collaboratives (PCs).



Fifteen PC's nationally coordinate and deliver care for adult patients requiring low and medium secure care.



The East Midlands area Provider Collaborative is called IMPACT.



IMPACT is a partnership of 9 NHS and independent sector providers and is led by Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS FT as the Lead Provider.

The other organisations in the collaborative are:

Cygnet Healthcare



Derbyshire Healthcare NHS FT



Elysium Healthcare

Leicestershire Partnerships NHS Trust

Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust

Lincolnshire Partnerships NHS FT

Northamptonshire NHS FT

Priory Healthcare

St Andrews Healthcare



In order to preserve integrity and avoid conflicts of interest, Nottinghamshire Healthcare Foundation Trust as the Lead Provider developed an arms-length commissioning and clinical oversight function (the IMPACT commissioning hub).



IMPACT's commissioning hub's role involves understanding the local population and empowering local clinicians and Experts by Experience to design improved pathways of care. Through the Lead Provider arrangements IMPACT also sub-contracts other providers e.g. to support discharges from secure care, assure the quality of services and lead the necessary reporting regionally and nationally to NHS England.



Provision of a high level efficient, comprehensive and confidential administrative service to the department will be required from this post holder.



There will be an expectation that the postholder will provide support as required across the team's administrative functions during periods of absence or high demand, so a level of flexibility is required.



This is a hybrid working post, hours to be worked at home and at the IMPACT base at Westminster House in Mapperley, Nottingham. This will be discussed on appointment to the post.



Please note that this post does not meet the pay level required for a Skilled worker visa.



Successful applicants with no prior NHS experience would normally be placed at the bottom of the band in line with Agenda for Change. This salary is below the minimum salary required for sponsorship for a Skilled Worker / Health & Care visa. In these circumstances the Trust would not, therefore, be able to sponsor for a Skilled Worker / Health & Care visa.



Applicants requiring a Skilled Worker Visa can determine the likelihood of obtaining a Certificate of Sponsorship against the relevant criteria here https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa
