Opportunity to lead a new innovative service (PARALEL) designed to support patients in the critical transition from inpatient to community care.
Chance to develop and implement a clinical model that enhances the recovery journey for patients, promoting better outcomes and experiences.
Collaboration with a multidisciplinary team, fostering professional growth and diverse learning opportunities.
Engagement in training and supervising team members, which contributes to personal development and leadership skill enhancement.
Involvement in the whole rehabilitative process, allowing for a holistic approach to patient care that addresses various life domains and supports family involvement.
Opportunity to reduce readmission rates and length of stay, making a tangible impact on patient lives and the healthcare system.
The Band 7 Manager position at Wirral with Cheshire & Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is a temporary, 18-month role focused on developing and implementing an innovative community service called PARALEL, aimed at providing intensive support to patients discharged from the Oaktrees Eating Disorder Unit. The manager will be responsible for building a workforce, creating a clinical model, training team members, and collecting project outcomes. The role involves collaborating closely with the Oaktrees EDU to identify patients nearing discharge, creating tailored discharge plans, and offering rehabilitative support to enhance recovery and transition back to community living.
This position offers the opportunity to manage a complex caseload and improve overall patient experience, with expected outcomes such as reduced readmission rates and enhanced support for patients and their carers. The role requires a holistic approach to care, including potential group work. Cheshire & Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust emphasises a person-centred ethos, valuing inclusivity and diversity in its recruitment practices. Interested candidates are encouraged to reach out for informal inquiries or support during the application process.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Band 7 Manager for an 18-month pilot, funded by the EmpowerED Lead Provider Collaborative in line with the move towards ‘Alternatives to Admission’.
PARALEL is a new innovation, designed as a ‘step-down’ intensive community service for patients discharged from Oaktrees Eating Disorder Unit (EDU) for a period of 12 weeks (when relapse risk is at its highest).
The B7 manager will be tasked to build a workforce, develop a clinical model and implement this model across the CWP footprint. This will likely be a combination of virtual and face to face work. The successful candidate will also be tasked to train and supervise other members of the team, as well as leading on collecting outcomes for the project.
The clinical work will involve liaising closely with Oaktrees EDU to identify patients close to discharge, developing a discharge plan with realistic goals, working in a rehabilitative approach to improve motivation to continue recovery, improving life domains, and transferring skills learnt on the ward into their home life, as well as nutritional support. They will also be heavily involved in carer support.
This will be an enhancement to treatment-as-usual through the community eating disorder service, therefore there will be no obligation for the PARALEL team to manage risk or medical interventions, deliver therapy or care co-ordination. However, there will be an expectation to work and communicate closely with the community team to enhance treatment and overall service delivery.
Through a rehabilitative, holistic approach and appropriate assessments and care planning, the successful candidate will be able to take on the exciting challenge of managing a complex case load and improving the quality of life of service users as well as development of a new service. Part of the role may also involve group work which is an integral part of this service.
Likely outcomes will be reducing readmission rates, reducing overall length of stay, improving transition from inpatient to community, increasing patient contact during this vulnerable period and improving patient experience.
CWP provides health and care services for local people, including mental health, learning disability, community physical health and all-age disability care – including the provision of three GP surgeries.
Our aim is to help people to be the best they can be, adopting a compassionate, person-centred approach to everything we do. We were recently rated as Outstanding for Caring by the Care Quality Commission with a Good rating overall.
We offer a variety of roles at all levels, so whether you are just starting out in your career or looking to use your skills and experience in a new role, CWP is the right employer for you.
CWP are committed to making our recruitment practices as inclusive as possible for everyone. We are committed to promoting equality and diversity and developing a culture that values differences.
To support this, we offer up to three weeks induction, dependent on role, with our Prepare to Care programme for all new starters. This programme welcomes you to CWP and provides you with information and training to support you in your role.
We welcome applications from people who have direct experience of accessing our services.
