United Kingdom Your Full time
Head of Mental Health Transformation for Children and Young People

Employer North Yorkshire Council Location North Yorkshire / Countywide Salary £55,056 - up to £63,367 per annum pro rata Closing date 29 May 2024

We have an exciting opportunity for a dynamic leader to work in a supportive and forward-thinking team that will impact the delivery of the Children and Young People's mental health system for years to come.

North Yorkshire is England's largest geographic county, covered by a single Local Authority, North Yorkshire Council, which was formed just over a year ago. Within that area, we serve around 150,000 children and young people under 25 who have spent the last few years in a society where social norms have changed substantially. We, like the rest of the country, are therefore witnessing unprecedented pressures on our mental health system.

Within our region, North Yorkshire Council works closely with both the Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (HNY ICB) and the Bradford District and Craven Health and Care Partnership. Our mental health system, however, is much broader, encompassing safeguarding, inclusion, education, the voluntary sector and a very active youth voice. We all work closely on our shared priorities, based on the iThrive model, around a single, co-produced vision for children and young people's mental health.

Because of the complexities of working across different ICBs, the NHS services within our mental health system are mostly commissioned through the HNY ICB, working with Tees, Esk and Wear Valley NHS Trust, and the Local Authority. These three organisations are working together to launch a year-long, children's mental health transformation programme, based on a 2022 review of the system.

As the newHead of Mental Health Transformation for Children and Young People (CYP) you will be expected to work closely with the Children and Young People's Public Health Consultant to lead a small team to enact the transformation recommendations. They will have a lead role in developing the programmes and processes of change. They will need to possess excellent communication skills and develop good relations with all stakeholders and will need a good understanding of complex systems, processes and outcome measures in different organisations

You will beexpected to work in a hybrid fashion, with some remote working, as well as face-to-face interactions across the whole of North Yorkshire. The base location will be at County Hall in Northallerton.

The post is for a 1 year fixed term with North Yorkshire Council, however, current NYC & NHS employees may be employed on a secondment basis. The secondment will need to be agreed between you and your current employer before employment started.
