CYP Clinical Co-ordinator

An exciting opportunity has arisen to be part of our developing CYP Emergency and Urgent care provision. As part of the NHS 5 Year Forward View, CWP have developed the crisis response services for CYP.

We are recruiting a number of clinicians to CWP's newly formed CYP Urgent Support Team.

You will form part of our skilled, multidisciplinary team. Clinicians will be offered the opportunity to continue to develop skills & experience in this area through the induction process, internal training, CPD & supervision.

The service will operate over 24 hours, 7 days a week to provide crisis mental health assessment & interventions for CYP in a range of settings, as well as operating the CYP aspect of the trust wide crisis line. Team members work 11.5 hour shifts.

The service covers the whole of the CWP footprint, with multiple hubs across this patch. The post holder could be based in Wirral, Chester, Crewe or Macclesfield but will be expected to support the Wirral base. However, all Clinical Co-ordinators are expected to travel to support hubs across the CWP patch based on clinical activity & service need.

Planned shortlist date is the 25/11/2025 and planned interview date will be 09/12/2025.

Please see Job description in post advert for details.

Clinical Co-ordinators form an integral part of the service, with responsibilities such as supervision of junior staff, training and development, service development and overseeing complex cases and escalations. Although a clinical role there are also aspects of management, such as performance management and rostering.

Applicants need to be able to think on their feet, working flexibly to manage incoming unplanned work across the day, leading a team of staff to achieve this, whilst offering support and clinical knowledge to junior staff.
