Service Manager Role
Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is looking for a motivated, experienced manager ready to take the next step in their leadership journey. This Service Manager role offers the opportunity to lead the safe, effective and efficient delivery of services within the Worthing and Adur NMHTs, which provide community mental health care for adults across the Adur and Worthing localities.
The transformation of community mental health services has brought together primary care mental health provision, including the Emotional Wellbeing Service and Pathfinder, with specialist secondary care services previously delivered by the Assessment and Treatment Teams. This integration has created a multidisciplinary model of care, focused on improving access, enhancing patient outcomes, and delivering more joined-up support across local communities.
This role offers a unique opportunity to optimise and further develop the NMHT model, driving innovation and continuous improvement across community mental health services. Working closely with colleagues across primary and secondary care, the successful candidate will play a key role in delivering a more preventative, responsive, and person-centred service for the populations of Worthing and Adur.
