Description

The RAMHP team is a new Southwest London & St Georges Mental Health (SWLSTG) service that aims to improve the mental health of people sleeping rough in the five boroughs which make up SWLTSG.

The project will develop close operational working links with other advocacy and support services in the non-profit sector and will enhance, fill gaps, build bridges between services, and help existing services work together more effectively so that homeless people are rapidly identified, assessed, supported, and directed so that their recovery is sustained.

RAMHP is designed to complement, strengthen, and enhance existing provision.

This post is funded by NHS England's Longer Term Plan funding stream.

The RAMHP project fits the priorities for the Greater London Authority's action plan for homelessness by working to:

Minimise the flow of new rough sleepers onto the streets
Ensure that no one new to the streets sleeps rough for a second night
Ensure no one returns to sleep on the streets of London
Tackle rough sleeping by nonUK nationals
Improve partnership working around enforcement
Improve outcomes for people discharged from hospital or prison
Meet the physical and mental health needs of rough sleepers
Improve access to mental health services
Ensure the availability of appropriate accommodation, including emergency accommodation
Maintain and improve the collection and use of data about sleeping rough
