**Job overview**:
Cornwall Council families together and Cornwall Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services for children and young people is changing, for the better. We have developed a multiagency rapid response service (MARRS) that will deliver urgent care across services for children and young people who experience mental health and social care crisis across Cornwall. We aim to build an integrated pathway that offers support and treatment for families in a joined-up way.

We have been working with families and staff to develop a new service that puts the young person and their family at the center of what we do. We will provide a seamless, integrated, and holistic approach to crisis care, supporting families to bring positive change

We are an integrated, multi-disciplinary CAMHS team, who focus on ensuring children and young people, and their families, get the right help at the right time. Your expertise is essential in the new model of care to ensure adaptive mentalization based integrative treatment. You will be reaching out to those hard to engage young people and their families, offering a family focused approach that keeps the young person at the center of the care, working to prevent admission and supporting young people and their families on their journey of recovery.

We look forward to you incorporating your own experience into practice, but we are also committed to enhancing this, with training opportunities to support our care delivery in AMBIT, DBT and CBT to name but a few.

**Main duties of the job**:
We work intensively with young people with acute mental health difficulties who are in crisis to prevent the need for inpatient admission where possible. As part of the Acute Care Pathway we work closely with the Southwest Collaborative, our local CAMHS Inpatient Unit (Sowenna), Community CAMHS and in partnership with our children's Social Care colleagues.

The team offers short term intensive interventions to young people with a significant mental illness or who are emotionally dysregulated and displaying high risk behaviour relating to their mental health. The team also offers home treatment as an alternative to hospital admission - this can involve targeted, short term intervention.

The team currently offer urgent assessments in hospital, or in the community, and s
