* We are expanding our provision, to offer drop in, open access community support to 10–18-year-olds across the county who need someone to talk to about their mental health in that moment. This space will offer timely support, in a person-centred, trauma informed way.
* The objectives of Hertfordshire Mind Network’s Herts Haven Café service are:
* To improve the mental wellbeing of children and young people experiencing mental health issues, including crisis presentations, in Hertfordshire.
* To provide drop in, no referral required, timely support to 10-18 year olds.
* To support children and young people in Hertfordshire to access community based mental health help.

A person-centred approach will be maintained, and this role is pivotal to ensuring CYP have a warm and welcoming space to turn to.

* To deliver 1:1 and group interventions, depending on need, flexibly and creatively.
* To ensure that every individual accessing the service receives, safe and trusted support.
* To create and review risk assessments, wellness plans, crisis support plans, safety plans, as well as signposting resources, as required.
* To proactively recognise indicators of deteriorating mental health and facilitate appropriate action, whilst liaising with relevant agencies e.g., C-CATT, Emergency Duty Teams, CYP MHS, etc.
* To work alongside Crisis Teams in line with joint protocols, where required, to support those individuals experiencing a mental health crisis.
* To signpost and refer effectively into other Herts Mind Network services, as well as alternative VCFSE and statutory organisations.
We offer:
* Annual leave entitlement of 25 days per year pro rata, rising in increments to a max. of 29 days pro rata after 5 years employment (plus 8 days Bank Holidays)
