Due to planned maternity leave of the current post holder we have a vacancy for an interim Head of Function for Children's Mental Health Services in South Staffordshire. This is a key role within the Children and Families Care Group leadership team and provides an opportunity to influence and shape care and outcomes for all children and young people in Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent due to the reach of universal services.

This portfolio includes our Core CAMHS teams; Paediatric Psychology; Intensive Support Team; CAMHS Early Years; Children's Eating Disorders, Mental Health Support Teams for Schools and Children's Neurodevelopmental services (inclusive of CYP Autism, Keyworkers and Learning disabilities) for the South of Staffordshire.

This is an exciting time to join the Care Group to continue to grow and expand this development, working with both internal and external partners to improve and simplify access for Children, Young People, their families and other professionals across the health economy.

Working as part of a senior leadership team in your function, including clinical lead, you will be responsible and accountable for effective service line management, operational delivery, workforce, quality and safety within your area of responsibility.

Working with the Head of Operations, other Heads of Function & the Head of Quality Improvement and Governance, as part of a leadership team for the Care Group you will be responsible for ensuring that services are integrated around the needs of service users. This will include facilitating work on integrated pathways and ensuring representation of your function at appropriate pathway and locality forums. This post holder leads on the development of our integrated Neurodevelopmental pathway. As CYP Mental Health services are also provided by MPFT in Shropshire Care Group (with separate managerial structure) this post holder will be responsible for working closely with colleagues across the Trust to ensure consistency of delivery of services across Care Groups.
