Job summary

They are developing new approaches to transform children's social care to deliver better outcomes for children and their families in Hampshire. As part of this a number of new teams have been set up which will are multi-agency in nature and really focus in on a number of priority strands including those children on child in need and child protection plans to avoid coming into care, repeat care proceedings as well as better outcomes for careleavers.
We know that the 'trigger trio' of parental ill health, substance misuse and domestic abuse features highly in all of these cases and we also know that for children living in these circumstances there is a significant detrimental impact on children's mental health. Therefore there is an exciting opportunity for specialist children's mental health staff to be part of these new multi-disciplinary teams.

This is an exciting opportunity for any candidate who wants to be part of an ambitious and energetic organisation and has a focus on empowering individuals and ensuring the very best clinical and individual recovery outcomes. Furthermore, you would be joining a very supportive and passionate team who focus on working together to deliver the best possible care and treatment to the families we work with.
