Description

We want people with personal experience of adult secure mental health or learning disability and autism services to support the Prospect Lead Provider Collaborative (LPC).

Since November 2021, Prospect LPC has been responsible for the commissioning of adult secure services in Cheshire and Merseyside, meaning that we have responsibility for the budget and pathways for our local area.

As part of our commissioning duties, we want our quality and commissioning activity to be informed by people who have personal experience of our services.

We will create a group of people with lived experience of adult secure mental health services, and you will then able to pick the type of projects or activities you want to be involved in.

The activities will include areas like:

supporting our quality team by joining them on visits to our services

- helping us to create our Engagement Strategy so we are clear how we should engage with our service users and make sure their voices and views are heard
- gathering views and opinions from current service users to inform any new services we want to develop.

The amount of time needed and what you will need to do will be provided separately for each activity - you can be involved in as many or few as you would like

Shortlisting planned for 7 September.

Interviews planned for 14 September.

The main duty in all our projects will be you using your own experiences to help guide our team's activities and decision making.

We want you to help us understand how things we would like to change might impact service users.

You will work with members of the Prospect LPC team, supported at all times, and give your own views or help us to gather the views of other service users.

Depending on the activities you choose to be involved in, this might include attending meetings (online or face to face), helping to create and deliver training or group sessions, supporting walkarounds of our sites to see if they are delivering the standard of care we expect.

Your role will be vital in promoting the voice of service users in our commissioning activities.

Mersey Care is one of the largest trusts providing physical health and mental health services in the North West, serving more than 11 million people.

We offer specialist inpatient and community services that support physical and mental health and specialist inpatient mental health, learning disability, addiction and brain injury services.

Mersey Care is one of only three trusts in the UK that offer high secure mental health facilities.

At the heart of all we do is our commitment to 'perfect care' - care that is safe, effective, positively experienced, timely, equitable and efficient.

We support our staff to do the best job they can and work alongside service users, their families, and carers to design and develop future services together.

We're currently delivering a programme of organisational and service transformation to significantly improve the quality of the services we provide and safely reduce cost as we do so.
