Gloucester, United Kingdom Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We have an exciting opportunity within the CAMHS Turn Around for Children Service (TACS) for a CAMHS TACS Mental Health Practitioner Band 6to join the Clinical team.

This post will suit a highly motivated individual who enjoys the challenges and rewards of a multi-agency environment. The role involves acting as expert witness in the court arena and providing high quality reports within court guidelines and timescales, as well as contributing to the assessment and care management of working-age adults with complex dual diagnoses.

The Turnaround for Children Service (TACS) is the multi-agency, multi-disciplinary community team that supports the Family Drug and Alcohol Court (FDAC) in Gloucestershire. A branch of the family court, FDAC offers an innovative, problem-solving alternative to care proceedings for families where parental substance misuse, trauma history and mental health issues may be impacting on parenting capacity and the child’s outcomes.

Within TACS, CAMHS practitioners assert the voice of the child, while supporting parents in their recovery journey. Our service exists to:

- Help parents achieve and sustain abstinence from substance use
- Support mental health recovery and whole-family well-being
- Shorten care proceedings, with improved outcomes for children
- Provide highly specialised assessment, interventions and liaison with other agencies.

We are seeking an enthusiastic, team-minded and flexible Band 6 registered practitioner to work alongside clinical and multi-agency colleagues delivering mental health and substance misuse interventions in the context of dual diagnosis presentation.

The role also requires
- acting as expert witness in the court arena
- providing high quality written reports within court guidelines and timescales
- enhanced competence in complex decision-making and management of complex cases.

As part of your role, you will be expected to learn to conduct intensive, co-ordinated assessments and to design and deliver evidence-based interventions and drug/alcohol testing regimes. These form part of a range of clinical interventions supporting the recovery and reunification of highly vulnerable families.

TACS Clinicians are part of Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust’s Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS). The TACS team is a close multi-agency partnership of colleagues in health and social care working together to deliver a county-wide, Monday to Friday service in the community.

The successful applicant must have the necessary professional qualifications and experience, including current registration as outlined in the Person Specification. Specialist skills and clinical responsibilities related to working within CAMHS /TACS will be clearly reflected in a personalised job plan.

You will be encouraged to develop your specialist clinical skills through training, supervision and personal coaching. As a service we are proud of our strong multidisciplinary ethos and we have robust clinical supervision, workload management and Continuing Professional Development structures in place.

The qualification, training & experience requirements for the role are underlined in the Job Description/Person Specification.

**Closing date**: Monday 27th March 2023
