The GMMH rehabilitation service have an exciting opportunity for a dynamic and innovative mental health practitioner to be part of the Home Engagement and Rehabilition Team. The service is establishing a strong reputation for providing bespoke, intensive and individualised care to service users living with enduring mental health problems to enable them to live their lives to their full potential.
The successful candidate will play a central role within the MDT to ensure high quality, recovery focussed care is delivered to our service users in the community.
The role involves co-ordination of a small caseload of service users, for whom the post holder will lead on the assessment, collaborative care planning and provision of interventions, to encourage self management, optimise functioning and promote choice and inclusion as part of care.
The service covers a large geographical area including all of Manchester and Salford (and with a plan to expand into Bolton this year), therefore there is an expectation that the postholder will travel across the Trust footprint.
You will require a good understanding of the principles of mental health rehabilitation and an awareness of the delivery of community mental health care.
The team has extended hours, offering our service users enhanced support from 8am – 8pm Monday – Sunday and the post holder will need to be prepared to work on a rota basis across these times.
Full induction and training will be given as part of the role. The post holder will be responsible for the co-ordination/ case management of a small caseload of service users. This will involve working creatively within a multi disciplinary team to support service users to identify their own goals and co-ordinate timely and appropriate interventions to help them to achieve these. This includes respecting individuality, values, culture and religious diversity of service users and colleagues and thus contributing to the provision of a service sensitive to these needs.
The post holder will maintain a recovery focus and will demonstrate skill and sensitivity in the assessment of vulnerable service users with higher level of needs.
The post holder will also be responsible for the organisation and supervision of recovery workers within the team. They will be confident in responding to crises where necessary, delegating tasks to colleagues as appropriate. The post holder will play a key role in the development of the service, by assisting the leadership team in day-to-day operations, organising, leading, teaching, supervising and supporting junior colleagues.
All positions within the Trust are subject to satisfactory pre-employment checks, for further information on the checks required please visit the NHS Employers website www.nhsemployers.org.
The Trust mandates all post holders who require a DBS for their role to subscribe to the DBS Update Service. You will be required to enrol for this service for a fee of £16 per year and maintain registration throughout your employment with GMMH.

Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) when writing job applications. A candidate may utilise the help of AI when writing job application. The assessment of an application is made on its entirety and most times AI-generated content does not fully grasp the context and requirements of the job one applies for thus producing inaccurate and misleading information, especially in the supporting statement section of an application that can lack real life examples of one’s achievements, success and challenges.
We have added a disclaimer to our application process advising that the use of AI is monitored. GMMH reserves the right to follow up with a candidate at the interview on specific responses and those examples used in the supporting statement to explore it further.
