Job summary We know that being supported close to home, closer to family and friends and staff who know you, with a range of different community services and shorter lengths of stay improves the outcomes and experiences for people using specialised services.
We also know that due to the way our current systems are set up, people who use specialised mental health, learning disability and autism services are too often cared for away from their home and community, and experience fragmented care in restrictive settings and may stay in hospital longer than they need to clinically.
