Job summary
Location: South Warwickshire Leamington Spa / Stratford-upon-Avon
About the Team and the Role:
Warwickshire County Council mental health services are delivered within the framework of a section 75 Partnership Agreement. Our staff and management team are seconded to Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership Trust (CWPT) to deliver integrated health and social care mental health services aiming to achieve the best possible outcomes for those we work with.
Following a recent Transformation programme, we moved away from a generic mental health provision to a model that better enables social care staff to use their specialist skills and expertise whilst continuing to work collaboratively with our Health and VCSE partners. To support this, our social care staff are directly line managed by social care managers.
