Greater Manchester Keyworker Service
Senior Keyworker (PW2) x 3
The Greater Manchester Keyworker Service is seeking to recruit three Senior Keyworkers (PW2) on a fixed12-month contract to support Future Focus, a new time-limited pilot programme.
Future Focus aims to reduce the number of 16 to 25-year-olds with a Learning Disability and/or Autism (LDA) who are admitted to mental health inpatient beds and, where admission has occurred, support a timely, safe, and effective return to community-based care.
The successful candidates will contribute to the pilot by:
- Supporting young people to engage with clinicians in clinical assessments, reviews, and decision-making processes where appropriate.
- Being a named keyworker for young people, supporting navigation and informed decision making.
- Developing a detailed understanding of individual pathways into inpatient admission.
- Mapping the lived experiences of young people before, during, and following hospital admission.
- Identifying common themes, risks, service gaps, and system barriers.
- Capturing the views and experiences of young people and their families regarding the support they have received across the system.
- Identifying opportunities for early intervention and preventative approaches to reduce the likelihood of admission.
To be successful in this role, you will have:
- Extensive knowledge and experience of supporting children and young people with Learning Disabilities and/or Autism, particularly those at risk of hospital admission or currently receiving inpatient care.
- A strong understanding of the systems, pathways, and services involved in supporting this group of young people.
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to work collaboratively across agencies and services.
- A commitment to improving outcomes for young people and their families through person-centred, strengths-based approaches.
- A car available for work with business insurance. Please note this role will include substantial travel across Greater Manchester. You will be based on one of our 3 offices dependent upon your home location.
This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to an innovative pilot and help shape future approaches to supporting young people with LDA across Greater Manchester and beyond.
