Description

Following a successful bid the North Mersey Region has been selected as a pilot site to implement the Integrated Care Framework (Community) including the establishment of Complex Needs Teams in Liverpool and Sefton.

The target young people are those who present with high-risk/harm behaviours and vulnerability. They are likely to have difficulties which are persistent, severe and framed by social contexts.

The Framework aims to meet 6 overarching objectives:

Improved CYP wellbeing
Reduction in highrisk behaviours
Reduced mental health concern
Organisations are more traumainformed
Improved purpose/occupation
Improved stability of home

This is an exciting opportunity for a senior clinical psychologist to join this newly developed team and work in partnership with the AlderHey ASD and ADHD Services at Alder Hey Children's NHS Foundation Trust.

The senior clinical psychologist will be based in the newly launched team with the aim of providing efficient and timely assessments and support to young people with suspected neurodevelopmental conditions and complex presentations.

The successful applicant will access clinical supervision from a senior clinical psychologist in the trust and will have opportunities for ongoing personal and professional development.

The service has strong links with our CAMHS and YOS services.
