Role portfolio:
The Adult Social Care (ASC) Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) & Early Help & Targeted Support Team will deal with new contacts that could range from advice and guidance, concerns for welfare and safeguarding concerns. To make every contact count to enable adults to have choice and control, maintain their independence, wellbeing, safety and mitigation of avoidable risk or harm.
Within the ASC MASH & Early Help & Targeted Support Team, information from different agencies will be collated using a strengths-based conversation model to inform what proportionate action may be required. As a result, the agencies using an multi disciplinary team (MDT) model will be able to act in a timely, coordinated and consistent way to enable adults to achieve their desired outcomes to live their best lives.
The MASH & Early Help & Targeted Support Team involves representation from the City Council, Police, Health and other partners working together in the same location. Virtual links will exist to other services and agencies, such as Primary Care, VCSE, probation, housing and early help services.
A key facet of the role will be supporting and integrating MASH with the delivery of the Early Help workstream of Better Outcomes Better Lives (BOBL) programme. BOBL is Adult Social Care's central long-term transformation programme, of practice-led change focused on supporting the people of Manchester to achieve better life outcomes with less dependence on formal care.
The aim of the Early Help workstream is to develop a new integrated Adult's Front Door model where professional capacity in the form of the Early Help & Targeted Support Team will work with the ASC Contact Centre function to ensure that the right tools, skills and knowledge are available to support the best outcomes by making every contact count.
