The service is accessed by young people who are often dealing with severe mental health issues, including psychosis, depression, affective disorders, anxiety, neurodevelopmental disorders, or significant emotional and behavioural challenges, such as self-harm, suicidal ideation, or thoughts of harming others, where the risk level is considered high.

In addition, there will be a requirement to work closely with external stake holders; acute hospitals, social care, schools and the police.

To manage crises and risks effectively within the community, oversee complex case management, and support staff in handling such cases.
To ensure care and operational policies are underpinned by equality, diversity, and inclusion, taking into account the cultural, religious, and spiritual needs of young people and their families.
To manage an emotionally demanding workload efficiently, often under pressure, involving multiple stakeholders with potentially high levels of expressed emotion and service demands.
To ensure staff maintain accurate and secure clinical and electronic records to a high standard.
To lead a responsive service that values and supports staff through supervision, training opportunities, and career development.
To act as a senior management representative, participating in working groups or forums for service development to create relevant policies, protocols, or guidelines.
To conduct service audits and evaluations.
To collaborate with partnership agencies to ensure CAMHS services align with local objectives and joint care strategies.
