Mental health – your career and caring for people
We’ve launched our Mental Health Workforce Plan for Norfolk and Waveney which sets out our vision for Norfolk & Waveney to be the best place to work.
The plan is based on four priorities which will ensure we have happy, healthy staff providing excellent compassionate care.
Creating new opportunities for our people
Priority 1
We’ll introduce new roles and competency-based career paths. Develop flexible rotational or joint roles working with education partners, placements in the voluntary sector and opportunities for portfolio careers.
Promoting good health and wellbeing
Priority 2
We’ll coproduce agreed staffing models to deliver safe, high-quality cost-effective care and take action to address racism and microaggressions from patients/carers.
Creating a positive and inclusive culture
Priority 3
We’ll take action to improve equality, diversity & inclusion and promote the anti-racism strategy. Create leadership development programmes and provide access to team and individual coaching.
Maximising the skills of our people
Priority 4
We’ll develop a collaborative training offer for communities, patients/carers, people working in mental health and volunteers, and we’ll create a Children and Young People mental health academy.
As a system we will all work together to make Norfolk and Waveney the best place to work and ensure people can live as healthy a life as possible.
