This service will provide comprehensive Mental Health assessments and short-term crisis interventions to support young people who are in crisis and to enable and empower them to a place of stability.

This new team already has an excellent, experienced and skilled workforce of practitioners and clinical managers, and we would love for new energetic, passionate and experienced staff to join us as we expand to build a well-supported, clinically skilled team across Dorset.

We are investing heavily in a comprehensive training package to ensure that all staff have the tools they need to operate safely and confidently with our young people. Whilst experience working with young people is a requirement, the training to assess, manage and treat those in crisis will be part of the induction to this team, alongside excellent supervision from our team of clinical and operational managers.

Ensuring high standards of clinical practice when working with all young people and their families/carers.

To liaise with relevant agencies in the delivery of care to young
people and their families.

To provide evidence-based therapeutic interventions to children, young people and their families, who are under the Enhanced Support and Liaison Team.

To work with colleagues within Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services to ensure delivery of comprehensive packages of care. Make recommendations relating to the admission and discharge of patients based on analysis of presenting problems under supervision.

This role would be predominantly focused on working with young people in the community across Dorset. We support flexible working where possible, and the role can incorporate a hybrid of home working and site working across Dorset as well as the three acute Hospitals.

The service operates from 8am to 9pm, 7 days a week so there is scope for weekend working and enhancements, longer but fewer working days through the week as well as early or late shifts.

This is a secondment opportunity in a part time role of 25hrs supporting maternity leave.

At Dorset HealthCare we’re on a mission to empower people to make the most of their lives through our outstanding, joined-up healthcare services. We’re a dynamic, forward-looking Trust, running 12 community hospitals, specialist inpatient facilities and a wide range of integrated community and mental health services for a population of almost 800,000 people.

We do things differently here - it’s one of the reasons the CQC rated us ‘outstanding’ in 2019. It’s also why 95% of patients across our services say they have a good or very good experience of our services and 89% of staff feel they can really make a difference. Whether you’re looking to work with us in one of our bustling market towns, vibrant urban locations, thriving seaside spots, or among the rolling hills of Dorset, there are lots of ways you can make a difference in our communities.

Our 7,000-strong workforce is at the heart of what we do and our success is a testament to our brilliant people. We're all about building a workplace for the future, we believe in equal opportunities and we celebrate diversity. We’re an inclusive workplace, where everyone is welcome, everyone can be authentic, and we are all encouraged to be the best version of ourselves.
