Description

This is a key role in promoting and improving health, wellbeing, and care outcomes for children, young people and their families, who have been identified as needing additional support, including transitional from Childrens Mental Health or other support services.

The role involves engaging local based community services, to aid their mental health recovery and encourage meaningful engagement within their local community, with an emphasis on identified resources to support young individuals into adulthood such as further education, volunteering, and other life skills.

This includes providing Early Intervention strategies and signposting to ensure needs are met.

The role also involves carrying out brief assessments with prospective clients who have been identified as requiring support from our service, signposting to agreed and appropriate community resources, making additional referrals, escalating any identified safety or safeguarding concerns appropriately, and feeding back as necessary to the wider team.

A key part of the role is to develop a live register of assets in the community that could be useful to people on the caseload who would benefit and to work with other post
- holders on a system-wide asset-based register, as well as fostering strong relationships and keeping the lines of communication open with our community partners paying specific interest to those that are relevant and of benefit to the age of 18 and meeting cultural needs where applicable. The role will also involve working alongside a new and evolving team of Adult 16-25 Senior Pathway Co-Ordinators, to both support young individuals with their recovery and subsequent discharge from services or work in partnership to ensure a smooth transition into adult services when required.
