Job description

Job responsibilities

The CIOT team has three main functions:

  • Hospital assessment

CIOT offers assessment of all under 18s, including those who are not normally resident in Bristol or South Gloucestershire, who present at University Hospitals Bristol and Weston (UHBW) and North Bristol Trust (NBT) hospitals in crisis with self-injurious behaviours, suicidal ideation or psychosis as part of a mental health presentation.

  • Intensive Outreach

CIOT offers an intensive outreach package of care to young people and their families/carers in CAMHS who are in crisis, at high risk of harm to themselves, at risk of Tier 4 admission and/or struggling to access and engage with locality CAMHS.

Young people referred to CIOT require more input than locality CAMHS services are able to provide because of the level of risk they are presenting with. CIOTs aim is to offer a short term crises intervention to try and prevent further escalations in risk, offer a period of stabilisation to the young person and their network and prevent a Tier 4 admission.

CIOT will also support young people and families and their locality teams with step downs from tier 4 units when there is capacity within the team to do so and if clinically appropriate. We will aim to offer in-reach work alongside locality to maintain relationships with young people and assist with care plans at the point of discharge.

  • CAMHS 24/7 Emergency Response Line

CIOT manage the CAMHS element of the AWP 24/7 response line that was set up in April 2020 as part of the national strategy to prevent ED admissions during the COVID-19 pandemic. CIOT takes calls from the children and young people, parents and carers in crisis 24 hours a day. The response line also takes calls from professionals who are concerned for children/young people.
