Description

We are looking for two highly motivated individuals to join our Enhanced Support and Closer to Home teams within the Acute Care Pathway as trainee Youth Intensive Psychological Practitioners.

This is an exciting new role being piloted by Health Education England and NHS England to support the transformation of children and young people's inpatient and intensive community mental health services.

You will be trained to work with children, young people and their families.

You will support young people when they're severely mentally unwell - requiring inpatient hospital admission or receiving care as a family intensively at home.

With a dynamic multi-disciplinary mental health team of health and social care professionals, you will create psychological formulations and plan care and deliver psychologically informed interventions under supervision.

You will be able to work with acute care needs and risk and have experience of doing so.

You will work to ensure young people receive the right care in the right place - helping to avoid unnecessary inpatient care or helping to reduce the length of admissions that young people need and supporting them at home.
