Job overview
Since October 2020 the responsibility for the commissioning of Adult Secure Care mental health, learning disability and autism services has transferred from NHS England (NHSE) Specialised Commissioning to Provider Collaboratives (PCs).
Fifteen PCs nationally coordinate and deliver care for adult patients requiring low and medium secure care.
The East Midlands area PC is called IMPACT.

The other organisations in the collaborative are:
Cygnet Healthcare
Derbyshire Healthcare NHS
Elysium Healthcare
Leicestershire Partnerships NHS Trust
Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust
Lincolnshire Partnerships NHS FT
Northamptonshire NHS FT
Priory Healthcare
St Andrews Healthcare
In order to preserve integrity and avoid conflicts of interest, Nottinghamshire Healthcare Foundation Trust as the Lead Provider developed an arms-length commissioning and clinical oversight function (the IMPACT commissioning hub). IMPACT’s commissioning hub’s role involves understanding the local population and empowering local clinicians and Experts by Experience to design improved pathways of care. Through the Lead Provider arrangements IMPACT also sub-contracts other providers e.g. to support discharges from secure care, assure the quality of services and lead the necessary reporting regionally and nationally to NHS England.
Main duties of the job
This role requires an individual with a good understanding of performance management, the ability to understand, validate and present data.
Central to the role will be working with the direction of the Performance Manager to ensure performance targets are appropriately monitored and managed including working to identify underperformance, risk to future performance and assisting the Performance Manager to track remedial action to improve performance.
The person in this role will be required to develop and assume a good understanding of the Commissioning Support Hub business requirements and be able to support the design of performance reporting mechanisms and information systems to meet these.
The post holder will be responsible for the collation, analysis, and interpretation and reporting of information to support the senior leadership team in service planning.
The post holder will work with case managers to gather data and assist in finding and fixing gaps and inaccuracies. They will notify the Performance Manager of any data quality issues or variances in data that require further investigation; they will support ongoing improvement of data quality, ensuring confidence in the accuracy of data.
The post holder will support in producing performance reports and offer analytical advice to case managers and senior leaders.
The post holder will support the Performance Manager in the implementation, development and production of information and reporting solutions.

There is strong support for a single hub model within the East Midlands, aimed at delivering financial efficiencies, streamlining governance, and reducing variation. The merger approach will strengthen collaboration and alignment. The merger will not affect fixed term contracts or any changes to required job descriptions advertised.
