Job description
Job responsibilities
The Parenting Well with Psychosis Project has been funded by the Maudsley Charitys Living Well with Psychosis Programme which funds initiatives and research to improve the treatment and support the recovery of people affected by psychosis. The Charity also has a focus on work that supports families and carers, and addresses inequalities in the experiences of racialised communities with mental health services. Social deprivation, discrimination and racial trauma are all linked to an increased likelihood of developing a psychotic illness. In southeast London, rates of psychosis are up to two times higher than the UK national average, some of the highest rates in Europe with Black men and women disproportionately affected both in prevalence and in their experience of mental health services and treatment. The clinician will contribute to the development and co-ordination of the provision of the culturally-sensitive Parenting Well with Psychosis project. The clinician will work clinically within the Helping Families Team and within the partnership holding a caseload The team will be an example of the Trust Think Family Strategy in practice where integrated care and partnership working are fundamental to whole family assessment, intervention and change.

Erewash Health Partnership provides core primary care services and support services across its constituent practices and is the prime provider for services delivered on behalf of Erewash Primary Care Network.
WE Flourish is a PCN-wide, non-emergency health and wellbeing service for adults aged 18 and over. This role has a particular place-based focus on Kirk Hallam and the Sport England Place Partnership, while operating through the wider WE: Flourish Single Point of Access rather than as a separate access route.
Job Summary
The Health and Wellbeing Coach will provide Tier 2 coaching and supported intervention for adults registered with an Erewash PCN practice, with a particular focus on residents of Kirk Hallam. The post holder will use personalised, strengths-based coaching to support health, wellbeing, confidence, motivation and self-management, and help people access appropriate lifestyle and physical activity opportunities.
A key focus will be strengthening physical activity for health pathways through the Kirk Hallam Sport England Place Partnership, supporting residents to identify what matters to them, set realistic goals, make sustainable changes and co-produce accessible local opportunities.
The role will contribute to reducing health inequalities and will work within a non-clinical coaching scope, agreed protocols, supervision arrangements and safeguarding, mental health and clinical escalation pathways.
Please note this role is not a clinical role.
General Duties
At all times, the post holder will behave professionally, promote high-quality person-centred support, contribute to a positive team culture and foster continual improvement across WE Flourish, EHP and EPCN.
This job description is not intended to be exhaustive. The post holder will carry out other duties that may reasonably be required within the main purpose and level of the role, in response to changing service needs.
Key Job Responsibilities
Provide personalised coaching to help people identify health and wellbeing needs, set achievable goals and make sustainable lifestyle changes.
Use coaching approaches, including motivational interviewing where appropriate, to focus on what matters to the person.
Support behaviour change relating to physical activity, healthy routines, diet, self-care, social connection, confidence and management of long-term conditions.
Deliver one-to-one or group-based support where appropriate and co-produce personalised support plans based on the persons priorities and strengths.
Actively promote physical activity as part of prevention, early intervention, wellbeing and supported self-management.
Support residents to access realistic, inclusive and meaningful physical activity, movement, lifestyle and wellbeing opportunities.
Work with Sport England Place Partnership partners and community organisations to strengthen physical activity for health pathways in Kirk Hallam.
Identify barriers to participation and explore practical, personalised solutions with residents and partners.
Contribute to accessible, inclusive community-based activities that support confidence, participation, connection and sustained engagement.
Support the planning, coordination and delivery of community wellbeing activities, including Wellbeing Mondays or similar local initiatives.
Provide outreach, group activities, community sessions and signposting, and build trusted relationships with residents, community groups and local organisations.
Co-design and co-produce activities with residents and partners in response to local needs.
Share resident insight, lived experience, feedback and delivery learning to support development of the Sport England Place Partnership and wider place-based approaches.
WE Flourish Pathway, Case Management and Governance
Deliver support allocated through the WE: Flourish Single Point of Access. The Kirk Hallam project will not operate as a separate referral route.
Complete a structured Tier 3 Quality Conversation when allocated, competent and appropriately supervised, using the dedicated SystmOne template.
Contribute to Tier 3 support plans, case holding and multidisciplinary meeting activity under the oversight of the Health and Wellbeing Practitioner.
Where acting as case holder, maintain oversight of the persons journey, progress agreed actions, keep the person informed, follow up unresolved referrals and maintain an up-to-date record.
Review open cases at least every two weeks. WE: Flourish will normally case-hold for no longer than three months; support transfer, discharge, return to triage or multidisciplinary discussion where appropriate.
Where needs change, become more complex or the intervention is no longer appropriate, return the case to triage for reassessment and reallocation and document the outcome in SystmOne.
Follow agreed appointment confirmation, non-response, non-attendance, discharge and re-referral processes. Review known safeguarding, vulnerability or significant risk concerns before discharge.
Identify and escalate safeguarding, acute mental health, clinical or urgent concerns through agreed WE: Flourish routes.
Contribute to monitoring activity, outcomes, wellbeing measures, patient feedback, equity of access and learning from the Kirk Hallam work and the wider WE: Flourish service.

You will lead service development and improvement, exploring new technologies, equipment and service models and developing capacity, supply and business continuity plans. You will contribute to regional and system-wide work exploring the future of aseptic services and play an important role in our digital transformation.
Working across professional boundaries, you will provide expert advice, manage complex risks and lead and develop our multidisciplinary aseptic workforce.
