The outreach model of care provides intensive interventions, ensuring that children and young people living in East and West Suffolk can access the services that meet their needs at the right time, and forms part of the local Mental Health Crisis response pathway. This service wraps around services that currently work with children and young people and complements existing provision.

**Key responsibilities within the role will include**:

- an interest and commitment to continuous personal and professional development, and reflective practice.
- a strong commitment towards working in partnership with Children, Young People and their families
- resilience and the capacity to remain calm and thoughtful in high pressure or high-risk situations.

**The team**

We are fortunate to have an integrated health and social care multidisciplinary team who are highly committed and passionate about supporting young people, caregivers, and wider professional networks in times of crisis.

CHRIS wraps around any services that currently work with referred children and young people and the service is designed to complement existing provision, forming part of the Children and Young Peoples Mental Health Crisis Response pathway in Suffolk.

- a comprehensive clinical induction and learning and development programme, including training in the AMBIT and DBT approaches, suicide prevention and self-harm mitigation training amongst others
- access to on-going learning opportunities to support your continued development
- a robust and comprehensive package to support you within your role, including: access to NSFT and Suffolk County Council Wellbeing resources, high quality management and clinical supervision, monthly reflective practice groups, and twice weekly Multidisciplinary Team meetings
- the opportunity to be part of shaping and developing an essential new service for children, young people and families in Suffolk.

**Additional benefits include**:

- flexible working options and our commitment to supporting health and wellbeing
- staff networks which are open to staff, councillors and partners that share similar characteristics, life experiences, values and beliefs.

We positively encourage the use of technology to communicate, but in this role, you will need to travel to locations away from your contractual base, so you must either hold a full and current driving licence and have access to personal transport or meet the mobility requirements of the role through other reasonable and suitable means.
