Cyp Wellbeing Practitioner

The Child & Adolescent Mental Health Service offers treatment for children and young people up to the age of 18 for mild to severe emotional and mental health needs. There are four multi-disciplinary Community Teams supporting Nottinghamshire along with specialist teams such as Eating Disorders, Head 2 Head, CAMHS Crisis and Home Treatment, CAMHS Neuro, Children Looked After & Adoption, Primary Mental Health, Perinatal services and East Midlands Community Forensic Child & Adolescent Health Service (FCAMHS).

Our core purpose is to work with children and young people and their families/carers, who may be experiencing emotional and mental health disorders that have a significant impact on the child’s development and cause distress to the child and/or their carers. We aim to improve the mental health of all children and young people with the provision of a timely, integrated, high quality, effective, multi-disciplinary county wide service.

Nottinghamshire Healthcare employs over 10,000 colleagues who help #MakeADifference every day. We provide intellectual disability, mental health, community health, forensic and offender healthcare services across Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and South Yorkshire. Care is delivered from over 120 sites within the community from acute settings and across low, medium and high secure environments including prisons.

As one of the largest mental health and community trusts in the East Midlands and one of the biggest employers in Nottinghamshire. We are also home to national and regional services such as the National High Secure Deaf Service and the Nottingham Centre for Transgender Health.

We are committed to flexible and agile working, including the opportunity to join our bank.

Your health and wellbeing is our priority and as such we invest significantly in this via our in-house Occupational Health Service, Staff Counselling Service and Health and Wellbeing Team.

We offer a number of employee-led staff networks, including Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) groups, our Green Champions Network, Freedom to Speak Up Network. Health and Wellbeing Champions Network and Menopause Champions. We provide care to a diverse range of communities and are passionate about supporting diversity and inclusion in the Trust.

If you believe in our values of Trust, Honesty, Respect, Compassion and Teamwork, then we would love to hear from you

Community CAMHS CYP Wellbeing Practitioner

This is an exciting opportunity to be involved in the development of the newly-established low intensity pathway within the West Community CAMHS team.

The Children and Young People’s Improving Access to Psychological Therapies programme (CYP IAPT) is a service transformation programme delivered by Health Education England (and partners) which aims to improve existing children and young people’s mental health Services (CYP MHS) working in the community.

You will have successfully completed CYPIAPT CYP Wellbeing Practitioner training or be due to finish shortly, and will provide ongoing evidence (video recording) of adherence to evidence-based treatment interventions within supervision.

The Community CAMHS Service in Nottinghamshire supports Children, Young People and their families/carers with their emotional and mental health needs on a continuum of mild to severe, managing complexity, and risks associated.

The Community CAMHS Wellbeing Practitioner will work as a member of the Community CAMHS Team and contribute to the multidisciplinary team. You will deliver (under supervision), high-quality, low intensity outcome-focused, evidence-based interventions for children and young people experiencing mild to moderate mental health difficulties. You will be responsible for an agreed caseload and will contribute to all aspects of team functioning as required.

You will promote emotional health and well-being by implementing child and family centred approaches within a multi-disciplinary team to enhance the resilience of children and their carers. There is an expectation the post holder will work collaboratively with other agencies to support the young person and family.

A full UK driving licence and vehicle for business use is required for this post; however reasonable adjustments will be made for disabled individuals in line with the Equality Act 2010.

Completion of graduate or post graduate certificate in a CYP IAPT Children & Young Peoples Wellbeing Practitioner course is essential.
