Description

We are currently looking for a Specialist Mental Health Nurse based at Clare Lodge to hold a specialist clinical caseload as part of the CPFT in-reach health services.

Clare Lodge is the only all girls Secure Welfare unit in the country and as such the Health Team provides national coverage.

To take away the liberty of a child for their own safety is a significant welfare issue so young people are only admitted because of high-risk behaviours that have persisted over time despite exhausting every other community resource available to engage and support them.

Due to the complexity resulting from disrupted attachments and multiple complex traumas, young people received into secure care are known to have multiple unmet physical and mental health needs as well as significant difficulty forming relationships.

Some of the complex needs may include ASD, ADHD and Learning Disabilities.

We recognise the highly specialist nature of the role and have a protected budget for specialist training and professional development alongside high quality and regular supervision.
