About the Role

The successful candidate will be responsible for providing evidence-based clinical interventions to children, young people, and their families experiencing emotional wellbeing and mental health difficulties.

Main Responsibilities

  • Deliver routine clinical outcomes and evidence-based clinical interventions in line with the CY-IAPT programme within CYPMHS
  • Promote the mental and emotional health of children, young people, and families in the community through clinical interventions in the care pathway
  • Undertake initial school-based and community-based assessments and deliver a range of early interventions to children and young people with a range of emotional and psychological difficulties
  • Assess and develop plans of care to meet the complex needs of patients with a variety of conditions
  • Provide clinical leadership and specialist treatment and assessment within your professional sphere of expertise in the service and will be responsible for the extensive clinical supervision of junior clinicians throughout the CYPMHS team

Working for NELFT

NELFT place a great deal of importance on new starters being properly welcomed and inducted into the Trust. All new starters will join the Trust on the first Monday of each month and will undertake a comprehensive induction of up to two weeks which will include mandatory training, systems training, and the allocation of equipment.

This post will be subject to a probationary period. Internal applicants are exempt from the probationary period (unless you are an internal applicant currently part way through a probationary period or currently a bank member of staff).

About NELFT's Children & Young People's Mental Health Services (CYPMHS)

NELFT's CYPMHS is for anybody aged between 0-18, living in Kent and is free at the point of entry. The service is also for young people with special educational needs (SEN) up to the age of 25.

The CAMHS Tier II and Tier III services no longer exist, replaced with an integrated CYPMHS.

Any young person experiencing emotional wellbeing or mental health problems, (or any parent, guardian, professional, or teacher of a child who is experiencing emotional wellbeing and mental health difficulties), may access our service.

Structure of Children & Young People's Mental Health Services (CYPMHS)

There is one Children's Single Point of Access (SPA), a Neurodevelopmental & Learning Disabilities Service, a dedicated crisis team, and inpatient service based in Staplehurst and eight Locality Teams.

These are located across Medway, Dartford, Maidstone, Tunbridge Wells, South Kent (Folkestone & Dover), Thanet, Swale, Canterbury, and Ashford.

What difficulties can be referred to the service?

  • Mood and anxiety disorders
  • Behavioural and conduct disorders
  • Emerging personality and attachment disorders
  • Psychotic disorders
  • Deliberate self-harm and suicidal ideation
  • Substance misuse with co-existing mental health needs (dual diagnosis)
  • Autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) - with co-occurring mental health needs
  • Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) - with co-occurring mental health needs
  • Neurodevelopmental disorders
  • Prolonged bereavement problems

All referrals to the service are assessed using a care pathways approach, developed in line with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidance criteria (NICE) and based on a best practice model of treatment.

Locality Team in Children & Young People's Mental Health Services (CYPMHS)

The aim of our CYPMHS is to respond earlier to children and young people's needs in order to help prevent, reduce, or delay the need for more specialist interventions.

This transformation of children and young people's mental health services has a clinical focus, integrated with local authorities to deliver a long-term collaborative approach to planning and delivering services.

CYPMHS focuses on emotional wellbeing as well as mental health and includes access to self-help tools and services based in schools and the community.

The CAMHS Tier II and Tier III service no longer exist, replaced with an integrated CYPMHS.

Training and support are available to other professionals and agencies.

We are creating a modern service that fits with children's lives in a way that best suits them.

Key new features include a Children's Single Point of Access (SPA) into the service, clear early signposting, and use of digital channels such as Big White Wall to access support and services.

Each locality team has care pathways.

Each care pathway is clinically led, with care pathway leads operationally managing all CYPMHS practitioners working in that care pathway.

With the support of the team manager, care pathway leads are responsible for assessment, treatment, and systematic outcome measurement in that care pathway.

CYPMHS multi-disciplinary pathway workers and mental health workers may work across more than one care pathway in a locality team.

Care pathways include;

Mood and anxiety

Complex

Behavioural and conduct

Neurodevelopmental & Learning Disability

Care pathway leads and practitioners ensure that a high-quality, timely, accessible, and evidence-based service is available to all children and young people who need it.

This means establishing and maintaining excellent working relationships with wider social, health, and voluntary services.

Working in our CYPMHS locality teams is for you if you are excited by a modern approach.

We would very much like to hear from you.
