This job is now closed
Job summary
Swanwick Lodge Secure Children's Home in Hampshire provides support and care for male and female young people aged between 10 and 17 years old whose behaviours present a significant risk of harm to themselves or to others. Young people who benefit from this provision are likely to have complex needs requiring: on-going assessment; high levels of supervision; multi-agency services; and a period of stability in an environment which is conducive to therapeutic interventions.
Main duties of the job
Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust Children and Family Services is looking for an exceptional person with the ability to support the transformation of the integrated health and wellbeing service delivery within Swanwick Lodge Secure Children's Home, ensuring that young people have access to the services and support they need to meet their physical, mental and emotional health and wellbeing needs.
We need excellent psychological assessment and therapy experience to transform and deliver models of care in partnership with our young people and their families/carers working with health, education and social care colleagues.
About us
Southern Health is one of the largest NHS Foundation Trusts in the UK, specialising in mental health and learning disabilities, as well as offering physical health community-based services.
With a workforce of more than 7000 and a footprint that spans more than 200 sites across Hampshire, we're committed to providing the best possible healthcare, reaching a range of diverse communities, whilst placing patients and staff at the forefront of all our endeavours.
We are currently working closely with other NHS Trusts to combine all our collective community, mental health, and learning disability services, with the plan to create a new larger, more integrated and accessible organisation.
The transformation will happen in stages; Hampshire CAMHS, part of Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust joined Southern Health in February 2024, with Isle of Wight NHS Trust mental health and community services transitioning across in May 2024. The final combination of Southern Health and Solent NHS Trust services is expected in late 2024, when our new organisation, to be known as Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, will be formed.
Our new Trust will continue to cater to the unique needs of different communities, making healthcare across the county more accessible, as well as offering staff more opportunities for career development, training and partnership working.
Join us as we embark on this exciting journey to shape the future of healthcare in Hampshire.
