Huntingdon, United Kingdom Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Join our pioneering award-winning First Response Service as a CAMHS Crisis Care Mental Health Practitioner. Our team are based in Huntingdon, providing 24-hour access to mental health services for people who identify or have been identified as being in a mental health crisis.

We need your expertise in working with children, young people and their families to support us in providing the best possible care for our service users. When we receive referrals for children and young people you will lead on these assessments and support the wider team to work with these young people and their families.

This is an exciting role which will support you to develop your clinical skills and develop a comprehensive view of the system. Understanding the system and building good relationships with partner agencies such as the police, ambulance and local authority services is a key aspect of this role but also provides you with a fantastic foundation for future development. You will be expected to work closely with other community agencies to develop a short-term contingency plan for people presenting in a mental health crisis.

If you are successful, you will be providing holistic and brief clinical risk and mental health assessment, formulation and short-term contingency planning over the phone whilst working closely with other CAMHS services and navigating the CAMHS crisis pathways currently in place.

You will support the wider team in working with those of all ages, this will involve telephone triage and working within the community providing face-to-face assessments and working closely with other teams and agencies.

We will expect you to use a range of brief solution-focused interventions, to empower service users, carers and their families in decision making and divert to a range of health and social care resources for support.

As a service we value our staff development, we meet weekly for development sessions organised by our practice educator. We also look to provide annual training and development opportunities for the whole team, last year our front-line staff undertook DBT training. You would also have the opportunity to take part in development opportunities offered by the Trust, such as AMHP training and non-medical prescribing.

We work in shifts to provide 24-hour support and as a CAMHS practitioner within the team you can expect to work late shifts (11am to 11pm).
