Description

This is an exciting opportunity for a senior 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/applied 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.

We are looking for individuals who have skills and experience in engaging families who are from communities that may be at increased risk of social exclusion or marginalisation.
