Job summary
A rare and exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Lambeth older adults community mental health team (CMHT) as the team manager. We are looking for an enthusiastic, motivated individual who is committed to working with older adults and wants to develop or consolidate their management skills within a supportive team. The successful applicant will have a proven ability to lead in implementing and sustaining changes, and an ability to work collaboratively and bring people together.
The Lambeth CMHT provides community based mental health care for people over the age of 65 (or patients under this age with an early-onset dementia) living in the London borough of Lambeth. You would be working within a dedicated team of multi-disciplinary professionals, and be part of a supportive network of community team managers and clinical specialists. Crucial to the role is the ability to communicate effectively with staff, service users, carers and outside agencies, and to think flexibly and creatively. The role is a band 7 full time post and is open to health and social work professionals with a current clinical registration.
Main duties of the job
The team manager's role is to take overall operational management responsibility for the CMHT. They will work with a small leadership team comprising a clinical nurse specialist, clinical specialist OT, and two consultant psychiatrists to ensure that the services provided by the CMHT are evidence-based, efficient, responsive, needs led, user-focussed and of the highest quality, and that the team is a reflective learning environment where practitioners feel supported to learn from each other, and feedback from patients and carers is valued.
The CMHT is a multi-disciplinary team comprising community psychiatric nurses, occupational therapists, psychology and psychotherapy staff, psychiatrists and administrators, and operates on an annual budget of approximately £1.9 million, including around 20 whole-time equivalent staff. The team manager is responsible for ensuring the team is managed in a financially sustainable way, and that all Trust policies and procedures are adhered to, including supervision and appraisal, sickness and annual leave management, and health and safety. The role will include regular review of data on activity and performance, and leading service improvement work to address any areas of need within this. It will also involve working closely with other teams across PMOA, as well as the governance team, safeguarding lead, professional leads, business manager and clinical service lead to ensure a joined-up approach to care and team development.
About us
The team is based within a well functioning Directorate, with leadership in Community Older Adult services found to be outstanding in the most recent CQC inspection. This post offers a chance to learn and develop a broad portfolio of skills within a new and supportive management structure. Regular support and supervision will be provided to enable development into the role, along with opportunities to identify and meet learning needs. The Directorate supports career development and retention.
The service is based at the Maudsley hospital, although the majority of clinical work is undertaken as home visits in patients' own homes, so the successful applicant must be able to travel across the borough (NB: public transport links are good, so driving is not essential).

Working Pattern: Monday--Friday, 09:00--17:00
On-call Requirement: None
Role Overview: The post holder will provide specialist psychiatric assessment, management, and advice for patients admitted to YDH who require mental health input during their inpatient stay. You will work closely with acute hospital colleagues, mental health teams, and wider multidisciplinary services to support high-quality, integrated care.
Cross-Site Working: Some cross cover with Musgrove Park Hospital may be required during periods of colleague leave.
What We're Looking For: A committed, collaborative consultant psychiatrist who values liaison work, enjoys multidisciplinary environments, and is motivated to contribute to high-quality patient care across Somerset.

Special Interests may be developed through discussion and agreement at job plan review meetings.
