Wythenshawe, United Kingdom Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust Full time

The Clinical Support Unit for CAMHS within Manchester Foundation Trust was awarded an "Outstanding" rating by the Care Quality Commission both in 2016 and 2019. This is an exciting time to join the trust to be part of the Greater Manchester footprint committed to dynamic and responsive engagement with our community.

Manchester Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) work with Children, Young People and Families aged up to 18 years and who present with a wide range of complex emotional and behavioural difficulties.

We are seeking to permanently appoint a committed professional to join our experienced and highly motivated Single Point of Access (SPOA) team within the service.

We are looking for a Mental Health Practitioner who is able to work autonomously at Band 6, within a multi
- disciplinary team. You must have demonstrable experience of working with vulnerable people and families, who present with complex mental health needs and may present as risk to self and or others.

This vacancy is for South Manchester CAMHS, based at the Carol Kendrick Centre, Wythenshawe.

You must have an understanding of assessing complex mental health needs and levels of risk, including safeguarding and self-harm, along with partner agencies and services.

You will manage your own caseload, providing a range of high quality care appropriate to the child or young person's needs which will include; mental state assessment, risk assessment and management, family and social assessment, consultation and interventions. You will receive support from the Pathway Lead, Service Manager, Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Consultant CAMHS Psychiatrists, as well as the broader experienced team.

This post is a clinical post and the expectation of time management is that the majority of time will be spent in face to face clinical practice. The majority of your working time is to be targeted towards initial assessments of mental health disorders and duty based mental health risk assessments. You will then formulate these cases and decide on the next steps in the case. This could be, for example to move them through to longer term treatment. There is scope in this role to hold a small portion of the job plan to provide specialist intervention through Evidence Based practice and clinical supervision.
