Main duties of the job
We are looking for highly motivated professionals to join our newly established Children and Young People's Intensive Support Team as a Senior Mental Health Practitioner working across Central Lancashire and the Fylde Coast (Lancaster & Morecambe).
Your role will support the delivery of a young person and family focussed, accessible and flexible urgent care pathway for children and young people.
A key element of your role will be to work collaboratively with the young person and their family or carers to agree an intensive support Care Plan which promotes their resilience and reduces the likelihood of future crisis episodes.
The service can provide opportunities for staff to work a shift pattern that includes long days (8am to 8pm), shorter days (e.g. 9am to 5pm or 10am to 6pm) or a combination of both, in order to provide the necessary level of cover required 7 days a week.
Your main duties will include working intensively with children and young people to provide a collaboratively agreed time limited package of care and to support their families and carers to provide appropriate containment during periods of high expressed emotion and crisis.
Positions available are across Lancashire and South Cumbria so there will be flexibility in terms of base and agile working involved in the roles. There will be positions available in:
- Central and West Lancashire
- The Fylde Coast - Lancaster & Morecambe
- The Bay
