IMPACT Case Manager
Band 8a
Job overview
Since October 2020 the responsibility for the commissioning of Adult Secure Care mental health, learning disability and autism services has transferred from NHS England (NHSE) Specialised Commissioning to Provider Collaboratives (PCs).
Fifteen Provider Collaboratives nationally coordinate and deliver care for adult patients requiring low and medium secure care.
The East Midlands area Provider Collaborative is called IMPACT.
IMPACT is a partnership of 9 NHS and independent sector providers and is led by Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS FT as the Lead Provider.
The other organisations in the collaborative are:
· Cygnet Healthcare
· Derbyshire Healthcare NHS FT
- Elysium Healthcare
- Leicestershire Partnerships NHS Trust
- Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust
- Lincolnshire Partnerships NHS FT
- Northamptonshire NHS FT
- Priory Healthcare
- St Andrews Healthcare
Main duties of the job
In order to preserve integrity and avoid conflicts of interest, Nottinghamshire Healthcare Foundation Trust as the Lead Provider developed an arms-length commissioning and clinical oversight function (the IMPACT commissioning hub). IMPACT’s commissioning hub’s role involves understanding the local population and empowering local clinicians and Experts by Experience to design improved pathways of care. Through the Lead Provider arrangements IMPACT also sub-contracts other providers e.g. to support discharges from secure care, assure the quality of services and lead the necessary reporting regionally and nationally to NHS England.
We are expanding our team by three case managers to join our Clinical Commissioning Hub. This is an exciting time to be joining our team as we take on new responsibilities across the Provider Collaborative. We are looking for highly motivated, clinically and operationally skilled applicants who relish the challenge of working with patients and building on strong relationships across our provider collaborative. The postholders will work directly with a designated caseload of patients in a range of different secure care settings. The postholders will additionally support the wider IMPACT team to monitor quality, safeguarding and commissioning intelligence to improve outcomes for the entire patient population.
Working for our organisation
Nottinghamshire Healthcare employs over 10,000 colleagues who help #MakeADifference every day. We provide intellectual disability, mental health, community health, forensic and offender healthcare services across Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and South Yorkshire. Care is delivered from over 120 sites within the community from acute settings and across low, medium and high secure environments including prisons.
As one of the largest mental health and community trusts in the East Midlands and one of the biggest employers in Nottinghamshire. We are also home to national and regional services such as the National High Secure Deaf Service and the Nottingham Centre for Transgender Health.
We are committed to flexible and agile working, including the opportunity to join our bank.
Your health and wellbeing is our priority and as such we invest significantly in this via our in-house Occupational Health Service, Staff Counselling Service and Health and Wellbeing Team.
We offer a number of employee-led staff networks, including Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) groups, our Green Champions Network, Freedom to Speak Up Network. Health and Wellbeing Champions Network and Menopause Champions. We provide care to a diverse range of communities and are passionate about supporting diversity and inclusion in the Trust.
If you believe in our values of Trust, Honesty, Respect, Compassion and Teamwork, then we would love to hear from you!

Detailed job description and main responsibilities
Case management is a recognised national role within the NHS and a national network of peers is well established who work cooperatively to manage complex patient cases. Case managers come from all professional backgrounds and disciplines, which adds to the strength of these teams, and as such we would like to hear from candidates from any professional discipline who consider they fit the criteria for this post.
Possession of a relevant professional qualification is essential, as well as knowledge of wider mental health services and ICS systems. Direct experience of working in specialised secure care mental health, learning disability & autism and forensic services is desirable. In addition, an understanding and experience of dealing with quality and clinical governance systems is required, as well as a proven track record of having excellent interpersonal and organisational skills.
Full induction, training and opportunities for continuous professional development will be provided. We have access within our collaborative to nationally respected clinicians who are available to support with clinical supervision, professional development and mentorship expected for this role. While there will be home working, travel within the East Midlands and beyond will be expected for this post.
