We will offer a full induction package for all new starters within the teams and have some really training opportunities throughout the year already booked to build on skills and interventions.

We are an innovative service and pride ourselves in providing training to enhance the care and support we can deliver.

We welcome clinicians with creative ideas to help continue to develop the service.

You will work closely with CAMHS CCETT staff to ensure a 24-hour service is offered for CYP experiencing a mental health crisis, including phone support out of hours to those on the case load, support to those accessing medical care or emergency care through ULHT or the S136 suite.

You will work closely with ULHT, CAMHS and other providers to ensure CYP experiencing mental health crisis have quick access to mental health triage, support, and assessment to allow signposting for follow up and discharge home.

This includes those with a range of different mental health presentations and eating difficulties.

You will also work with the S136 suite if any CYP are detained there and will take calls via SPA at night from CYP/Families and carers known to the service and from emergency services who need support, liaison, triage, or assessment for a CYP presenting in a mental health crisis.
