Description
Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is the leading provider of services for people of all ages with mental ill-health and learning disabilities in Surrey & North-East Hampshire as well as drug & alcohol services in Surrey.
i-access is the drug and alcohol service for Surrey. It is a county wide service delivering tier 2, 3 and 4 substance misuse interventions. i-access is run collaboratively by Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Trust (SABP) and Public Health (PH) / Surrey County Council (SCC). SABP and SCC have entered into a cooperative agreement for the provision of substance misuse services.
Elements of the service provision are being subcontracted by SABP. The Provider will be an integrated part of i-access, staff will be based in the i-access teams (3 hubs) and work as part of one service. The subcontractor will need to be able to work collaboratively and to embrace the culture and ethos of the cooperative agreement which is one of partnership and transparency.
The Service Provider will deliver efficient and effective evidence-based interventions that meet the needs of service users.In doing so the service must:
-Engage and involve service users in a range of interventions according to their identified needs and risks facilitating their involvement i.e. effective information sharing and a joint care planning approach in line with good evidence based practice.
-Increase the proportion of service users who successfully complete treatment programmes by providing an end-to-end care co-ordination approach throughout the treatment journey.
-Provide a person-centred approach that phases and layers the delivery of specific interventions that are appropriate to service users' needs and enables their progress and achievement of substantial recovery goals. To refer / signpost to other agencies and providers where appropriate.
-Improve health and social functioning by achieving a step-change increase in the numbers of individuals who access treatment rapidly, remain engaged and achieve positive outcomes.
-To plan and run an accredited peer mentoring scheme for the whole of i-access. Peer mentoring is expected to feature strongly in delivery of the service to aid service user involvement.
-SABP i-access Senior Managers are the lead for Safeguarding. The provider will be expected to have a good knowledge and understanding of all aspects of Safeguarding and to link in with Senior Managers appropriately where there are Safeguarding issues.
The i-access Contract will be for an initial 4-year period, commencing 1st April 2021 with the option to extend the term for a further 2 x 1-year periods up to an overall maximum term of 6 years from the commencement date.
