The CAMHS Home Intensive Treatment Team is a new service that provide assessment and intervention for children and young people across the Wigan and Bolton area.

You will be expected to undertake the full range of assessment and casework for young people with moderate to severe mental health needs in the community, adopting a recovery and social inclusion model that encompasses non health and social care services to meet service user needs.

The service currently operates 7 days a week. Monday to Friday the operating hours are 8am - 8pm and on Saturday and Sunday 9am - 5pm.

As a member of the Home Intensive Treatment Team, you will be at the heart of a well funded, well organised, hugely valued work-stream.

You will offer up to 6 weeks of intensive follow up and develop longer term care plans to identify and address the holistic needs of young people and families across Wigan and Bolton.

You will also link with specialist in-patient services, referring and co-managing admissions within a recovery model.
