3 weeks ago

Dudley, Dudley, United Kingdom Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Position Overview

Join the Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust during a pivotal moment in mental health services. We are launching a new initiative designed collaboratively with young individuals aged 18-25, aimed at enhancing support across health, social care, and community sectors for young adults in our region.

This service will complement existing offerings, creating a comprehensive support system. Our model includes pathways to facilitate transitions between Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) and Adult Mental Health Services (AMHS), providing enhanced support for young adults from underrepresented groups, and establishing a robust array of community resources to promote well-being for young people and their significant relationships.

Key Responsibilities

Our goal is to empower all young individuals in the Black Country to achieve their potential and thrive, placing their voices at the forefront of our services. The program is designed to be needs-based, offering choices and promoting inclusivity. Our team philosophy emphasizes empowerment, focusing on building strengths, assisting young people in articulating their experiences, and setting meaningful personal goals with ongoing support to maintain progress. We strive for collaboration, aiming to amplify the voices of the young people we serve and learn from their insights. We acknowledge the uniqueness of each individual in distress and recognize the importance of humility in our professional knowledge.

About the Role

As a Youth Transition Support Specialist, you will adopt and advocate for an empowering, relational, and trauma-informed approach in all interactions. You will engage with young individuals on a one-on-one basis and participate in joint appointments with CAMHS and AMHS to facilitate transitions and access to various community resources. You will initially work within one of several available pathways, contributing to your local 'young person hub' and collaborating with social care and the voluntary sector to support disadvantaged young adults seeking additional assistance.

We are committed to ongoing co-production and oversight by young people, aiming to embed transformative change within our service. This includes recruiting individuals who align with our team values, providing relevant training, supervision, and support, and ensuring the well-being of our team members. Our service will promote knowledge sharing and best practices across the Black Country to foster a culture that is friendly and responsive to young people.

Desired Qualities

In alignment with our values, young individuals have expressed a desire for team members to embody the following characteristics:

  • Open-mindedness
  • Honesty
  • Compassion and empathy
  • Thoughtfulness (approaching every situation with seriousness and thoroughness)
  • Flexibility, adapting approaches as necessary
  • Patience and perseverance
  • Relatability and youthful spirit

We aspire for our team to reflect the diversity of our communities, enhancing innovative practices. We encourage you to share any relevant knowledge and experiences that could add value to our team.

Locations Available

This role will primarily involve face-to-face interactions rather than remote work.

Essential Qualifications

  • Professional registration is required for eligibility (e.g., Occupational Therapist, Social Worker, Speech and Language Therapist, or other Allied Health Professionals).
  • Experience working with individuals in significant distress.
  • Familiarity with at least one psychological approach.
  • Ability to work in an empowering and adaptable manner.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Strong skills in engaging young people, potentially including interests and abilities in art, music, or other creative activities.
  • Experience in a supportive role with disadvantaged groups, such as individuals who have been in care, the homeless, those who have faced significant trauma or adversity, individuals from minority cultural backgrounds, or those with disabilities or substance misuse issues.
