Job summary
Due to substantial investment, we are now in a position to recruit to the CAMHS Crisis and Home Treatment and CAMHS Liaison Teams as part of the Urgent Care Provision.
We are seeking an enthusiastic and therapeutically focussed practitioner to work as part of a team to deliver a follow up service for young people who have presented in crisis, either to one of our acute hospitals or via the crisis pathway.
You must be a Registered Nurse, Dip SW or equivalent social work qualification (CSS, CQSW, degree in social work), Allied Health Professional registered with the HCPC and accredited by a HCPC recognised body e.g. UKCP/BACP/BABCP.
Main duties of the job
As a CAMHS Urgent Care Mental Health Practitioner, you will work as part of an MDT to assess, formulate and support young people and their families when they are in a crisis situation and require access to mental health support. Practitioners will then offer targeted follow up interventions in a range of therapeutic modalities and training will be provided to help staff continue to build their careers.
Mornings will be spent undertaking 1:1 assessments and careplanning, using a range of techniques such as Solution Focussed Therapy or Single Session Therapy. There will then be opportunity to debrief as a team, before then offering a range of therapeutic interventions which will include group work, psychoeducation classes and 1:1 work for both young people and families / carers.
The aim of the provision is to help prevent young people going back into mental health crisis and offer support to reduce the number of people needing to be referred on for longer term CAMHS input, where it is felt that short term support is suitable.
