Child and Family Mental Health Worker

6 months ago

Reading, United Kingdom Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Do you want to work with young people and families and have transferable skills to work with complex mental health needs? We have an exciting opportunity to work for a Trust that is rated 'Outstanding' by the CQC.

We are seeking Child and Family Mental Health Worker working within the CAMHS Rapid Response Team. The CAMHS Rapid Response Team delivers high-quality mental health assessments and short-term intervention to young people experiencing mental health crisis. Our service is essential in responding to and supporting young people and adolescents presenting in crisis in the community. It is an exciting time to join Rapid Response as we are expanding our service. This role will offer intensive short-term intervention to young people and their families, while receiving supervision and support from senior Clinicians.

We welcome applicants who have skills (or transferable skills) in working with young people with mental health needs and have ideally also worked with their parents/carers.

We offer regular supportive supervision and mentoring, to help you develop and feel confident/supported in this role.
- You will provide brief interventions for young people who have presented in crisis where it is identified that additional intensive therapeutic interventions are required, especially to avoid placement breakdown or admission to an adolescent mental health hospital, or residential care.
- You will be working with young people who may have self-harmed and/or expressed suicidal thoughts. You will therefore need to be aware of risk identification and management (with support of a case holding Clinician)
- You will work with parents/carer of the young people in crisis (where clinically indicated) offering support, advice and psychoeducation.
- You will work with the young person to ensure they are heard, validated and their needs are understood.
- You will play an important key role in liaising with multi-agency partners to ensure the young person's needs are communicated and all agencies work collaboratively together.
- You will work closely with the wider CAMH services in Berkshire as well as local authority and education colleagues and other services/agencies as required.
- You will be supported, guided, and supervised by senior clinicians in the team.
- You will receive training to enable you to offer interventions such as DBT skills (Dialectical Behavioural Therapy skills), to enable you to support young people to develop emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills.
