The team will be responsible for responding to risk presentations across a number of sites within the GM footprint, this includes hospital settings, urgent care centres and home addresses.

You will need excellent organisational skills to be able to respond to risk and support staff to re-prioritise depending on what is presenting on the day. You will need the ability to respond to young people and families expressing high levels of emotion and be confident to challenge decisions of other professionals in an appropriate manner drawing on formulation and clinical experience to provide a rationale for decision making.

Children’s mental health and emotional well-being is a key priority locally and Rochdale benefits from strong multi-agency networks and creative approaches to service delivery. Rochdale CAMHS is one of the highest performing in the country currently, and the borough is also home to the nationally recognised #Thrive service providing a broad spectrum of emotional well-being support to children and families. Other CAMHS-linked services in place include our Early Attachment service, Our Place (multi-agency team for children on the edge of care) and the Mental Health Support Team, with other projects also in development.

We offer a robust supervision structure and development opportunities in terms of psychological therapies training within the trust and opportunities to access specialist training in line with your own and the team’s needs.
- To ensure high quality CAMHS clinical assessment of young people and their families referred via the Single Point of Entry
- To manage and clinically supervise CAMHS practitioners in managing their own caseloads.
- To be responsible for and manage a (reduced) defined caseload (as agreed with Operational Manager) and undertake key-worker responsibilities within the caseload, making autonomous decisions concerning service delivery, risk management, referrals to other agencies and discharge.
- To make independent clinical decisions about the appropriate therapeutic interventions for each young person, in accordance with individual assessed need, and to provide or provide access to this intervention, including those young people with learning difficulties.
