Description

Transforming Care Navigators:


The NHS Long Term Plan states that by 2023/24, children & young people with a learning disability, autism or both with the most complex needs will have a designated Navigator.

The Norfolk & Waveney Integrated Care Board (ICB) were successful in becoming an early adopter pilot site in 2021/22 to develop a key worker team, known locally as the Navigator team to support children and young people up to the age of 25.


Are you an enthusiastic person who would like to be a part of the Navigator service in Norfolk & Waveney? Do you have experience of providing intervention that is strengths-focused, evidence-based and tailored to meet the needs of a child/young person and their family/carer? We are looking for a Peer Support Worker who is an expert by experience of supporting young people to access Mental Health Services and/or has experience of supporting young people in treatment from a mental health/emotional wellbeing service to contribute to the on-going development of the Navigator service. This will include supporting our step-aside function and the development of peer support groups for parents and carers of autistic children and those with learning disabilities that have been referred to the Keyworker service. **You will work alongside a Navigator to provide a seamless, robust and relevant network of onward support, signposting as appropriate to alternative services and 'hand holding' to build confidence and resilience in families.
