3rd November 2017

Dear Candidate,

Regional Heads of Services x 2

I am pleased you have decided to consider applying for one of the Regional Heads of Services posts here at Restore. I very much look forward to receiving your application on or before the 20 th

November 2017.

These are exciting times at Restore as we celebrate our fortieth year and build a new executive team to help us develop and grow into the future.

As you know Restore works in Oxfordshire with people who have severe and enduring mental health problems. We know that everyone has talents and abilities, and the capacity to make a valuable contribution to the community. We believe that people with mental health problems have the right to work, the right to the support they need to gain employment and lead fulfilling lives. We also believe that the stigma associated with mental health problems damages the whole community and in all we do, we work to challenge this discrimination.

The Regional Heads of Services are jointly responsible for the operational delivery of Restore’s high quality recovery and coaching services, each taking the lead for a cluster of services in separate geographical areas.

It is envisaged one post will take the lead on management of the specialist lead for coaching and the other on managing the referalls and operations co-ordinator.

The roles will entail complex partnership engagement (including the delivery of services as part of the Oxfordshire Mental Health Partnership), overseeing quality, service review and development, member and carer involvement, income generation through sales and strategic planning and implementation.

Restore has six sites in Oxfordshire (four in Oxford, one in Didcot, and one in Banbury), plus two sub-contracted sites (in West and South Oxfordshire) and staff who work across a range of other sites in the county.

Our intitial thoughts are that these services will be split geographically as follows but we may change this depending on final recruitment decisions.

“A” covers recovery and coaching groups at Elder Stubbs (Oxford), Littlemore (Oxford) and Fleet Meadow (Didcot)“B” covers recovery and coaching groups at Beehive (Oxford), Garden Café (Oxford) and Orchard (Banbury)

Along with the challenges of ensuring our services are delivered on a day to day basis to meet our members needs there are also opportunities to grow the organization through new business development and promotion.

Restore leads on the delivery of the Oxfordshire Recovery College, an innovative shared learning environment for people with mental illness, their families, carers and professionals.

Restore also offers Mental Health First Aid training and Working With Mental Health courses, the former aimed at both individuals and organisations, the latter aimed specifically at the corporate sector.
