Do you have strong administrative experience and are looking for an opportunity in mental health? Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust invites applications for an Office Manager role within our newly established Assertive Outreach Team (AOT). This innovative service will provide high-quality, person‑centred care to individuals with complex mental health needs who may struggle to engage with traditional services. Operating across the City of Oxford, the team delivers proactive, flexible support, responding to need in a timely and coordinated manner. Assertive Outreach is founded on active engagement rather than office‑based care. Staff work flexibly across the city, supporting individuals in community settings, their homes or Trust premises. Interventions are tailored, relationship‑focused and recovery‑oriented, promoting continuity, trust and consistent engagement. Shared caseload responsibility, alongside a key worker model and regular MDT reviews, enable rapid responses to relapse, risk and disengagement. We seek motivated and compassionate professionals committed to supporting some of the most vulnerable people in our communities. Successful applicants will be confident in managing complexity and dynamic risk while working within a recovery‑focused, trauma‑informed framework. This is an opportunity to help shape a new service and make a meaningful difference across Oxford.
