Description

The NHS Long Term Plan made a clear commitment to expand personalised care and personal health budgets, with a specific expectation that personal health budgets will be offered within mental health services.

Personal Health Budgets are closely aligned to one of the central strands of service transformation in mental health: Recovery. As a highly personal journey recovery depends on services being able to develop individually tailored approaches.

In East London, we are in the process of expanding our use of Personal Health Budgets (PHB) to support recovery in our secondary mental health pathway to Newham and Tower Hamlets ELFT treatment and recovery services, building on the successful implementation in City and Hackney.

We want to ensure that the process of expanding the use of PHB is guided by the service user voice and the process is fully co-produced

This exciting role, will be focused on working alongside the PHB Project Team in the implementation of PHB in the three inner boroughs of North East London ICS - City and Hackney, Tower Hamlets and Newham.

We are looking for a PHB Peer Lead who has lived experience as a service user and ideally of the personal health budget process.

The post holder will be responsible for:

Supporting the co-ordination and facilitation of agreed projects at a local level ensuring that personal health budgets are promoted as an important part of the wider personalisation agenda and supporting service users to meet their own unique goals.
The successful delivery of projects to the required quality and standards.
Being an active member of ELFT PHB Steering Group providing an update regarding progress of implementation across the three boroughs.
To support and facilitate teams and individual members of staff in improving their knowledge of Personal Health Budgets (via training and coaching skills).
To coordinate the collection and presentation of the agreed data and measurements including staff and service users feedback and evaluation.
Contribute to a newsletter promoting Personal Health Budgets and sharing local case stories.

Our mission is to make a positive difference to people's lives by improving the quality of life for all we serve

Our values are:

We Care, We Respect, We are Inclusive - so we are looking for people who live and breathe these qualities when supporting service users and carers, and in their relationships with colleagues in the Trust and our partner organisations.
