We deliver a wide range of evidence based interventions through clearly defined care pathways. Development opportunities can be accessed via our comprehensive internal training programme. We have a robust supervision structure for staff, alongside peer support. Our Neurodevelopmental pathway undertakes assessment and post diagnostic mental health intervention to children and young people with complex neurodevelopmental and mental health presentations. Clinicians will work within a collaboratively care planned approach, should be able to work autonomously and within a multi‑disciplinary team. The current vacancy is within our Neurodevelopmental pathway. An understanding of sensory issues would be advantageous in this post. We are keen to recruit clinicians with experience in working with children and young people, and who can work collaboratively with partner agencies. Working Hours The team operates across the hours of 8.00 to 8.00 Tuesday & Wednesday, and 8.00 to 6.00 Monday, Thursday and Friday. Key Responsibilities Carrying a complex caseload of young people requiring therapeutic interventions. Provide training and clinical supervision/support to the wider team. Attendance at multi‑agency meetings and risk management group. Support with transition work and audits as appropriate. Linking in with parent, carers and other partners. We aim to attract and retain a diverse, talented and committed workforce, who are caring and compassionate, and therefore able to meet the demands of the modern NHS now and in the future.
