    Default job background
    Description

    Are you a skilled mental health professional? Are you somebody that relishes change and service development? Do you see the opportunity to positively influence a young person's emotional health and well-being as a privilege? If so, we want you to join us on our journey to be the best we can be for our community of Children in Care.

    Our vision is for our local community to be well-equipped to support children and young people, the adults of tomorrow, to grow up with good emotional health and well-being.

    You will be joining a vibrant, established and well-trained multi-disciplinary Children in Care team where values based, high quality care delivery is integral to all decision making.

    We are seeking a highly skilled Mental Health Practitioner to provide specialist support to the development of a new early identification and intervention pathway for Trafford's Children in Care.

    Alongside screening children's emotional health and wellbeing, you will also provide case management and robust risk assessments, prevention and early intervention through consultation and education to schools and other partner agencies.

    The post also involves working within our Core CAMHS Duty Team one day per week, therefore experience of duty assessment work is crucial.

    With current NMC, HCPC or SWE registration alongside a recognised qualification, you'll have a working knowledge of CAMHS and/or adult mental health and have an understanding of assessing complex mental health needs & levels of risk, including safeguarding and self-harm.

    Using your experience of working with vulnerable people and their carers who present with complex mental health needs and are often a risk to themselves or others, you'll undertake assessments and formulate plans for intervention, in collaboration with the Child, Young Person and those who care for them.

    Dedicated to providing an environment that encourages patient-centred involvement, you'll promote good working relationships as part of a wider multi-disciplinary team, making sure care is coordinated with the internal and external departments you work with, with the ultimate aim of providing the best patient journey possible.

    Using your knowledge of evidence-based practice, you'll offer therapeutic solutions in line with the National Institute for Health & Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines.

    You will lead on a new initiative to help promote the early identification and intervention of mental health needs for Children in Care.

    MFT is one of the largest NHS Trust In England with a turnover of 2.6bn & is on a different scale than most other NHS Trusts.

    We're creating an exceptional integrated health & social care system for the 1 million patients who rely on our services every year.


    Bringing together 10 hospitals & community services from across Manchester, Trafford & beyond, we champion collaborative working & transformation, encouraging our 28,000 workforce to pursue their most ambitious goals.

    We've also created a digitally enabled organisation to improve clinical quality, patient & staff experience, operational effectiveness & driving research, and innovation through the introduction of Hive our Electronic Patient Record system which launched in September 2022.


    We're proud to be a major academic Research Centre & Education provider, providing you with a robust infrastructure to encourage and facilitate high-quality research programmes.

    What's more, we're excited to be embarking on our Green Plan which sets out how MFT continues to play its part in making healthcare more sustainable.


    At MFT, we create and foster a culture of inclusion and belonging, provide equal opportunities for career development that are fair, open, and transparent, protecting your health and wellbeing and shaping the future of our organisation together.
