Ld + Autism Keyworker
6 months ago
The Islington and Camden Keyworker Service is a member of the Transforming Care LD and ASD Support Service across North Central London (NCL). The Keyworker Service provides coordination and direct support to children with learning disabilities and/or autism, who also have mental health needs and/or behaviours that challenge. This project uses intensive, direct interventions with the aim of supporting children and young people with neurodiversity to remain living at home, in the community; preventing avoidable admissions to inpatient mental health services and/or 52-week residential placements; and to reduce the length of inpatient admissions, supporting early discharges.
This role will provide high quality support to the children and young people and their families/carers (predominantly in their homes), working as part of a team to help unblock the system, provide a bridge across different parts of the system including health, education and social care, and be a key point of contact for families/carers. You will hold a small caseload of children, young people and their families; you will work both independently and in partnership with professionals across the network; providing direct, intensive, clinical support for families/carers. The role will work across various settings, including in homes, schools and in the local community.
You will be part of a large and diverse multi-disciplinary team, with colleagues from both health and social care. You will benefit from high level, expert support and supervision, including line-management, individual clinical supervision and weekly reflective groups. You will receive multiple, specialist training opportunities including PBS - positive behaviour support, MI - motivational interviewing and NVR - non-violent resistant NVR.
Whittington Health serves a richly diverse population and works hard to ensure that all our services are fair and equally accessible to everyone. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the way we look after our staff. We aim to employ a workforce which is as representative as possible of this population, so we are open to the value of differences in age, disability, gender, marital status, pregnancy and maternity, race, sexual orientation, and religion or belief. The Trust believes that as a public sector organisation we have an obligation to have recruitment, training, promotion and other formal employment policies and procedures that are sensitive to these differences. We think that by doing so, we are better able to treat our patients as well as being a better place to work.
