Lot Information

Havering - Integrated Voluntary and Community Services

North East London NHS Foundation Trust (NELFT) previously commissioned partners within the voluntary and community sector (VCS) to employ, support, develop and train peer workers for the Neighbourhood Teams across each of its boroughs as part of its community mental health transformation programme. The peer support workers will be fully integrated into the Neighbourhood Teams. It is expected that they will dedicate 80% of their working week to the Neighbourhood Teams, functioning as a full member of the team alongside NELFT staff. A full time post holder would therefore be expected to spend 0.8 WTE within the Neighbourhood Team (4 days a week) and the remaining time working outside the Neighbourhood Team - half of it engaging with and helping to convene specific group based therapeutic work for service users and the local community. The remainder can then be used for personal development, training, support and work for the provider VCS partner. Overall, the post holder will provide support and recovery guidance to individuals experiencing common and severe mental health problems, using their own life experience of mental distress or as a carer and recovery as a template. This contract notice is to publish our intention to award to the existing provider following Direct Award Process C, via Provider Selection Regime 2023 regulations.
