Band 6 - Senior Mental Health Practitioner (SW, OT or Nurse qualification)

The CAMHS SPA is a centralised service to support enquiries and referrals for Children and Young People across three core Wiltshire CAMHS teams. We are about to embark on an exciting service expansion to incorporate BaNES CAMHS referrals; this reflects four successful years of embedding the service across Wiltshire. We are therefore recruiting to support this expansion.

The service is the first point of contact for all new referrals and enquiries; we support self, parent/carer and professional referrals. Our robust system of working ensures all contact is reviewed clinically and timely to ensure the appropriate support is offered at the right time by the right service. You will involves positive working relationships with Wiltshire education settings, focusing upon meeting the emotional wellbeing needs of students via supporting education staff.

As a member of the team, you would be supported by a dynamic and enthusiastic team who are passionate about meeting the needs of children, young people and parents/carers. The role requires working alongside our colleagues in the core CAMHS team, other professionals in wider CAMHS and those external to the service.

The SPA team is based in at Melksham Hospital in Wiltshire; adopting a hybrid model of working to balance regular face to face contact with SPA team members.

In this role you will be delivering phone/virtual consultations to children and young people, parent/carers and professionals with the aim to gather more information to understand their mental health needs and risk, to determine the appropriate support whether this be within CAMHS or best met by another agency.

We will need you to possess excellent interpersonal/communication skills; be calm and organised to embrace the changes that can occur in the SPA. You will need to be efficient in completing documentation and have a sound working knowledge of Excel and Word. Whilst the role can be challenging, the support and experience you will be surrounded with creates a safe positive working environment.

We embrace learning from our colleagues via regular training and supervision to contribute to our up to date knowledge. The role extends itself to regularly connect with education settings to support staff in understanding mental health and how to best meet the needs of CYP.

Also, importantly we value our own wellbeing; we do this by engaging in regular team wellbeing activities to allow the time to pause and enjoy coming together as a team.
