Interim Mental Health Development Lead

We are delighted to be working in partnership with Certitude to find an interim Mental Health Development Lead. Based in London, Certitude have been supporting people with learning disabilities, autism, and mental health needs since 1990. A large, well established social care provider, they currently employ more than 1,800 people across 17 London Boroughs.

The organisation feels strongly that the support they deliver for people in London with mental health needs is excellent, but they strive to do more. With the introduction of Integrated Care Systems and the ongoing significant pressure on the NHS to discharge people from hospital settings to effective, high-quality community-based support, they want to evaluate their current offers and ensure their mental health support is responsive to demand both now and going forward.

We are looking for a senior manager with a proven ability to help develop, grow, and sell high quality mental health support services. We want an interim who understands the commissioning landscape (ideally in London), who has a passion for providing the best person-centred support possible.

We are flexible about the exact experience to date the successful applicant will have, so if you think you may be interested and suitable, please do get in touch by emailing certitude@vbsearch.co.uk. The role will be offered on a 12-month fixed term contract (mainly home based). The ideal candidate will be available to start reasonably quickly, and part time working is an option. CVs will be assessed on receipt so please get in touch asap if you think this could be the role for you.
