About the Role

  • Liaise with other agencies to plan and assess programmes of care, providing consultation and training where appropriate.
  • Conduct assessments, including emergency and urgent assessments, of children and families who have been referred to Crisis and Community CAMHS.

About Us

Southern Health is one of the largest NHS Foundation Trusts in the UK, specialising in mental health and learning disabilities, as well as offering physical health community-based services. We are committed to providing the best possible healthcare, reaching a range of diverse communities, whilst placing patients and staff at the forefront of all our endeavours.

We are currently working closely with other NHS Trusts to combine all our collective community, mental health, and learning disability services, with the plan to create a new larger, more integrated and accessible organisation. The transformation will happen in stages, with the final combination of Southern Health and Solent NHS Trust services expected in late 2024.
