Job overview:

The CAMHS Access team (CAT) has been developing over the last 3 years to provide a truly holistic and integrated approach to child and adolescent mental health care and are fully integrated within the Early Help Hub and MARU.

We are looking for a dynamic and solution focused individual who is passionate about high quality care for children and young people across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

You will be outcomes driven and work seamlessly across the Early Help Hub, MARU, and other partnership agencies to deliver a unified and safe service to children, young people, and their families.

You will need to provide indirect and direct clinical support to young people accessing CAMHS via the CAMHS Access Team with guidance from the qualified staff.

***The CAMHS Access team is the initial point of contact within Cornwall for all CAMHS referrals. This is a countywide service which co locates and collaborates with the Early Help Hub and MARU in New County Hall in Truro.

Main duties of the job:

The Mental Health Support Team is an early intervention service designed to support Cornwall's primary schools in thier efforts to support Children's Mental Health.

The support worker role is an exciting new development to expand our team and increase the number of schools we can reach.

Roles will cover a wide geographical area and we linked to either our East (Caradon, Camel Valley Upper Tamar) or West (Penwith, Resormel, Kerrier) regions.

Support workers will work closely with our qualified staff to deliver specific targeted intervention to schools.

A significant amount of group work practice is envisaged and full support and training will be given to enable workers to deliver a selected range of psychoeducational or supportive interventions.

Initially this work will be jointly delivered but over time the support worker will feel equipped to deliver these interventions independently.

Regular supervision will be offered as will opportunities for involvement in project work and resource development

A driver with access to a vehicle is required and whilst travel costs from a nominated base will be covered a reasonable amount of travel to access schools across the region is envisaged.
