Job overview

This post is an exciting opportunity for those who wish to be part of an innovative developing service.

The SET CAMHS crisis and intensive support/home treatment team offer assessment and interventions to those young people presenting with mental deterioration or crisis presentations.

As a service we now work within the Thrive model and implement collaborative care plans with our community services and community SET CAMHS team to promote positive outcomes for vulnerable young people and their families-there are opportunities here for joint working and co-ordinating alongside the community-based teams.

Our approach to working is being developed with a focus on meeting the needs of the young person to ensure effective clinical practice and brief therapeutic interventions, and to reduce risk in order to have a stabilising impact within a containing approach.

Within the service there are opportunities for development and training in various therapeutic approaches, and all new starters will be provided with a full induction and opportunities to shadow the team and to learn about the various departments/teams within the SET CAMHS model.
