Description

An exciting opportunity has arisen within the Community Mental Health Liaison Service (CMHL) for full-time permanent Band 7 Team Leader.

The CMHL Service is a small team of professionals providing an early intervention and prevention service to young people and professionals who support children and young people (CYP) under the age of 18 who are experiencing mild to moderate mental health difficulties.

The service is targeted towards children and young people under the age of 12. The service offers consultation, direct support and group-work.


Part of your role, in conjunction with relevant Managers, will be to continue to develop clinical protocols and audit tools and to collect relevant data and information to underpin service evaluation and be able to report this back to commissioners.


The role will work closely with the SPOA and Horsham Hub Team Leaders to ensure that early access and intervention services are working together to improve services for young people needing help and support.

The post-holder will also ensure that pathways between CMHLS and CAMHS are clear for young people and the people that support them.

This includes integrated stepped care models for young people.


We provide mental health and learning disability care for children, young people and adults across Sussex and for children and young people in Hampshire.


Working in Sussex:


  • Travel easily between coast and countryside, with a blend of picturesque villages and seaside towns
  • Embrace the city life with great access to visit Brighton and London
  • With easy access to Gatwick and Heathrow and excellent railway links across the UK there is plenty of opportunity for adventure
We'd love you to join our organisation that is rated 'good' overall and 'outstanding' for caring by the CQC.

Our staff agree, in our recent staff survey 82% told us that they recognise that care for patients is our top priority.


Key staff survey results include:


  • 70% highlighting flexible working opportunities as a key point for satisfaction at work
  • 79% reporting feeling able to make suggestions to improve the work within their team
  • 77% identifying the opportunities to show initiative in their roles


You will need a professional qualification, with evidence of continuing professional development in a field relevant to Child and Adolescent Mental Health.

The post-holder will need supervisory experience and leadership experience.

If you enjoy being a part of a team, possess good leadership skills, are creative, seeking a new challenge and want to make a positive difference

to the lives of children & young people and their families, then we would be delighted to hear from you.

We encourage flexible working.


We know that a positive work/ life balance brings about huge health-related benefits, which has a positive impact on the care we provide.

Please speak to us about flexible working, for example, home-working, part time hours, flexible start/ finish times or anything else.

If it works for you and works for the role, we'll do our best to make it happen.
