Main duties of the job
At Young Minds Matter, the
ADHD service is vital for those with suspected and confirmed ADHD. If you want
to make a real difference to a cohort of children and guide them into
adulthood, this is the role for you.
Within the role you will
take the lead in care planning for the young people on your caseload,
developing treatment plans, achieving the personal reward of responding to the
difficult behaviours and emotions these children can experience.
The children are with the
service for years, so the ability to build meaningful long-term relationships
with children and their carers is of the upmost importance.
The wider Young Minds Matter
team allow you the freedom to try new approaches, whilst engaging with other
agencies, schools and support networks is key.
