We are currently looking for a Specialist Mental Health Nurse based at Clare Lodge to hold a specialist clinical caseload as part of the CPFT in-reach health services.

Clare Lodge is the only all girls Secure Welfare unit in the country and as such the Health Team provides national coverage. To take away the liberty of a child for their own safety is a significant welfare issue so young people are only admitted because of high-risk behaviours that have persisted over time despite exhausting every other community resource available to engage and support them.

Due to the complexity resulting from disrupted attachments and multiple complex traumas, young people received into secure care are known to have multiple unmet physical and mental health needs as well as significant difficulty forming relationships. Some of the complex needs may include ASD, ADHD and Learning Disabilities.

This job will involve considerable amounts of multiagency working with the wider professional network around the young person. It is expected that the post-holder can complete reports to a high standard as well as good quality referrals to external agencies to facilitate a safe transition for the young person into the community or alternative identified setting.

The Specialist Mental Health Nurse will be a Named Health Professional, in line with the Healthcare Standards for Children in Secure Care and will act as a complex care coordinator for the young person. The Specialist Mental Health Nurse will represent the young person’s views, develop, and lead on individual care planning.

Cambridgeshire & Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust is a health & social care organisation dedicated to providing high quality care with compassion to improve the health & wellbeing of the people we care for, as well as supporting & empowering them to lead a fulfilling life.
