An exciting opportunity has arisen for a motivated and experienced professional to join the Learning Disability Intensive Support Team (LD IST) as Team Manager. The IST provides a specialist community-based crisis and stabilisation service for adults with learning disabilities and/or autism, supporting admission avoidance and high-quality, person-centred care.
The post holder will provide day-to-day operational leadership while working closely with the Clinical Nurse Specialist to maintain strong clinical oversight, safe decision-making and effective MDT coordination. This role is key in supporting service development, quality improvement and shaping the future direction of the IST as it enters a period of positive transformation.
We are looking for a compassionate and forward-thinking leader with experience in LD/autism services, crisis pathways or complex care, who is committed to delivering safe, responsive and high-quality support for service users, families and staff.
Please note for this role you will be required to travel independently around the county meeting strict time deadlines. You will need to hold a full UK driving licence* and have use of a vehicle. You cannot use public transport for this role as this is not a reliable form of transport and will not allow you to meet service needs. Please confirm in your application that you meet the specified criteria.
*DVLA have a number of reciprocal arrangements with overseas countries, for further information please visit the DVLA website.
• The post holder will provide operational leadership and day-to-day management of the Learning Disability Intensive Support Team (IST), ensuring the effective delivery of a responsive, community-based crisis and stabilisation service for adults with learning disabilities and/or autism.
• Although the role is primarily operational, the post holder will hold clinical oversight and work jointly with the Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) to maintain high clinical standards, support safe decision-making and ensure robust governance across the service. Together, they will build, monitor and maintain service delivery outcomes, ensuring that assessments, risk formulations, PBS-informed interventions and stabilisation plans align with evidence-based practice.
Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust is a health and social care organisation dedicated to providing high-quality care with compassion to improve the health and wellbeing of the people we care for, as well as supporting and empowering them to lead a fulfilling life.
Our clinical teams deliver many NHS services, not only via inpatient and primary care settings, but also within the community. These services include children's, adult and older people's mental health, forensic and specialist mental health, learning disabilities, primary care and liaison psychiatry, substance misuse, social care, research and development.
To achieve our goal, we look to recruit high-calibre candidates who share our vision and values. As an equal opportunities employer, we encourage applications from all sectors of the community, particularly from under-represented groups including people with long term conditions and members of our ethnic minority and LGBTQ+ communities.
