This exciting new development within Lincolnshire, based in Grantham, welcomes enthusiastic and experienced applicants to apply for this rare opportunity to be involved in shaping a brand new pilot service that will support individuals stepping down from acute mental health wards to transition into the community.

The service will be delivered in partnership with Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Trust and will form part of the NHS Mental Health Pathway. The service will be going live in October 2025, with the successful candidate starting in September 2025 to support with implementation.

We aim to assist people we support to improve their lives and ability to live safely in the community. You will be supporting to manage a mental health step down service for individuals who have had a period of time in hospital. There will be an emphasis on building skills that promote longer term recovery, housing and transition support and learning skills that support independence.

You will lead a team of recovery workers, peer support workers and a housing and transition navigator, working alongside the Operations Manager.

You will be working with other agencies to ensure that appropriate community integration is achieved and a successful journey for the people we support through their recovery pathway, promoting independence and positive risk taking.

This service is a two year pilot scheme with opportunity to extend beyond. You’ll play a key role in demonstrating service efficacy, with an important focus on performance, evaluation and embedding the service into the local pathway.

Turning Point has several well-established mental health services within Nottinghamshire, alongside our substance use services in Lincolnshire. You will form part of a wider supportive management team within the region, with a shared focus on governance, quality and service development.
