Brighton CAMHS Duty and Liaison Service

Mental Health Practitioner - Band 6 (Maternity Leave Cover)

Based across Brighton & Hove

Do you want to work for an inspiring and expanding service within CAMHS? If so then we would love to hear from you.

The Brighton Duty and Liaison Team offers an exciting opportunity for a band 6 Mental Health Practitioner keen to apply their skills across a range of settings to help young people in crisis.

This role offers the perfect opportunity for career development due to the skills that you will learn through this type of work, or for those considering moving to CAMHS from other services.

The role will be variable and exciting, sometimes challenging and there is a need for flexibility but it is always very interesting and rewarding. You will need to be motivated, forward thinking and have a strong commitment to providing high quality care to provide the best outcomes for young people.

Excellent risk assessment and safety planning skills are essential to this role and you will be well supported to develop your ability in these areas.

As a DLT Mental Health Practitioner you will work a shift pattern covering the hours of 9.00am - 8.00pm Monday to Friday and 10.00am to 6.00pm weekends and public holidays.

Main duties of the job

You will be supporting young people and their carers who are presenting with a mental health crisis across a range of settings in General Hospitals, CAMHS Offices, online/ via phone and occasionally at home.

This is a developing service and there will be an opportunity in this role to deliver therapeutic interventions alongside crisis care planning and management. You will be supporting young people who are waiting for interventions from tier 3 CAMHS as part of the duty role as well as those presenting to General Hospitals in crisis.

About us

We are looking for a mental health practitioner with excellent risk assessment and care planning skills. Previous experience of duty and/ or A& E Liaison work within a community based mental health team would be ideal but not essential for the right candidate. You should be willing to work autonomously as well as part of a team.

The team thrives through being supportive to each other in an environment that can be changeable due to service capacity and demand. You will need to be flexible, be able to participate in the shift pattern of the team and have excellent communication skills. In return you will be well supported by experienced clinicians who will help you to develop and flourish in this environment.

All your skills and training will be fully utilised and developed through clinical supervision and training opportunities.
