Child & Adolescent Mental Health Support Worker

3 weeks ago

Taunton, United Kingdom Somerset NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Would you like the opportunity to join an established and respected team which is already making a difference to Children and Young People in Somerset?

Our CAMHS Intensive Treatment Team in Somerset would like to welcome a Child and Family Support Worker to join our experienced team, supporting Young People in the community.

The Child & Family Mental Health Support Worker needs to be able to communicate, provide and receive complex, sensitive and at times contentious information, where skills of persuasive motivational negotiating, empathy and counselling are required - often in situations where there are barriers to understanding and high stress levels.

If you enjoy a challenge and want to contribute to making a difference to young people, we want to hear from you.

You’ll have the support of the team around you, including qualified professionals and fellow support workers, as we work together to support children and young people who are already accessing support from our Community Teams. The team supports young people with complex mental health presentations in the community, to enhance treatment and care provided by our Multi-Disciplinary Community Teams.

The post holder will provide direct practical support and therapeutic interventions to children and young people within the CAMH Service. The postholder will work under supervision and direction of qualified staff and will be expected to work autonomously in a wide range of clinical and community settings

It is a great time to join this team of dedicated professionals with a wealth of experience from various backgrounds and there is plenty of opportunity to learn and develop. The CAMH service is constantly evolving and we can provide you with staff development, training, regular supervision and a positive team environment.

We would encourage informal enquiries about the role so if you’d like to find out more before you apply, please contact our team managers, Jess Froom or Janine Newbury, on 01823 368 368.

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust endeavours to provide development opportunities for those looking to develop a career in the NHS, in both clinical and non-clinical roles.

Through our training programmes, individuals can earn a salary, develop their skills, and achieve a nationally recognised qualification, all whilst contributing towards delivering excellent patient care.

We have six active and impactful colleague networks. These networks provide a safe space for colleagues to share their experiences and learn from one another, but also influence change across our trust:

- Multicultural Network
- Women’s Network
- Armed Forces’ Network
- LGBTQ+ Network
- Lived Experience Network, for colleagues living with disabilities
- Autistic Colleague Network

As an organisation the NHS offers a wide range of benefits including flexible working, pension contributions, market leading annual leave allowance, career progression and regular conversations, not to mention our Blue Light Card and NHS Discounts.

Somerset is a rural community served by several Community Hospital sites in addition to Musgrove Park Hospital which is only a short walk from the centre of Taunton. Local to two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, less than 1hr from celebrated secluded beaches of Devon and Dorset. With award-winning schools & rolling countryside it's no surprise that Somerset is the choice for those in search of the perfect work-life balance.

Providing practical support and therapeutic interventions under the guidance of qualified members of the team to children and young people with complex mental health needs and their families.

The postholder will provide support to parents/ carers of children and young people with complex mental health problems in liaison with care co-ordinators, other Trust staff and relevant external agencies

The postholder will be working as part of the CAMHS multi-disciplinary team, and his/her assessments/interventions will be part of the overall care plan for the child/family.
