The rapidly-developing body formed to help shape the future of case management is looking for new key additions to its team as it continues to progress.
The Institute of Registered Case Managers (IRCM) was formed in 2020 to help bring new levels of professionalism and accountability to case management, and with it a series of stringent technical and professional standards.
Since that time, the IRCM – created jointly by the British Association of Brain Injury and Complex Case Management (BABICM), the Case Management Society of the UK (CMSUK) and the Vocational Rehabilitation Association (VRA) – has made strong progress.
It remains on target for submitting its application for accreditation to the Professional Standards Authority (PSA) during 2023, and is also set to open registration for case managers to be part of a publicly-accessible register, which will add further protection of clients and assurance for their families, authorities and commissioners.
Now, as it continues to develop, IRCM is looking for a new chair and a number of new panel members, with recruitment set to open for positions including directors and members of the board’s committees and groups later in the year.
Angela Kerr, current chair of IRCM, said: “I was delighted to become chair of what is now IRCM in early 2020. It has really developed over that period making considerable gains towards holding a register of case managers and preparing for its application to the PSA under its accredited register scheme. I am proud to have been part of this journey.
“In preparation for the next steps in IRCM’s development the structure of the organisation needs to evolve.”
The roles currently open for recruitment are voluntary, with volunteers being key to the development of the IRCM and the Quality Case Management Project (QCM) that led to its development.
IRCM says it is looking to recruit from as wide and diverse a pool of people as possible, and is keen to hear from lay representatives who would not be eligible to become a registered case manager and has never worked in case management.
