Your role
Title: Mental Health Care Navigator
Location: HMP Humber
Salary: £21,703.54 to £23,906.01 Per Anum
Total hours per week: 35
Imagine being part of an organisation whose common purpose is to help those who are severely impacted by mental illness. We believe that everyone should be treated with respect and dignity – and that’s why equity is one of our core values. We draw on the expertise, unique perspectives and lived experience of our people – regardless of who they are or their background – to help us become inclusive and anti-racist employer, campaigning organisation and service provider that reflect the diverse communities we support as a mental health charity.
Rethink Mental Illness are excited to be setting up a new IAPT service in HMP Hull in partnership with Tees, Esk and Wear Valley NHS Foundation Trust and Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust.
This service will see the implementation of a stepped care model into HMP Hull, allowing residents to access evidence based, effective care comparative to what is offer in the community.
Care Navigators aim to provide a seamless package of support to individuals with mental health needs who are leaving the prison and returning to the community, reconnecting individuals with health services to reduce health inequalities and in turn reduce reoffending. The Care Navigators are embedded in integrated mental health teams and community settings, providing 1:1 and group assessment and support in a variety of settings and hold highly autonomous roles.
To be eligible to apply for this role you must be eligible to work in the UK, and provide proof of this (i.e., a passport/visa). You will also be subject to National Prison Vetting Security Clearance.
How you will make a difference:
You will provide Care Navigation Services to individuals being released from the HMP Hull or HMP Humber, supporting people both pre and post release in line with service guidelines, working alongside other agencies to improve health outcomes and reduce reoffending
You will provide support to those being released from court, and provide assistance with these processes by completing an initial screening and care mapping assessments with each service user and use service documents to plan their care and release, utilizing supervision to ensure a high quality of care provision.
You will develop tailored models of support for patients through a variety of modalities, mediums and with varying intensity to promote independent self-management and engagement with statutory and non-statutory services
Clinical work is carried out in both the prison and community settings, so access to transport for work purposes is essential.
