This is an exciting opportunity for a mental health practitioner specialising in supporting children and young people with a learning disability to join the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service at Alder Hey Children's NHS Foundation Trust.

The Mental Health Practitioner will be a member of the specialist, multi-disciplinary service and will have case management responsibility for their case load, however, they will be supported through supervision by a senior member of the team on a regular basis.

The post holder will provide a range of appropriate, evidence based clinical interventions informed by assessed individual need.

The post holder may be required to provide support, advice and consultation to families/carers and other professionals involved in the life of the child/young person.

We expect applicants to either be a registered nurse - learning disability or an allied health professional/clinical psychologist with substantial experience of working with children and young people with a learning disability.

Further training in positive behaviour support would be an advantage.
