Description

The post holder will manage a team that provides mental health and psychologically informed services for children and young people in our communities.

The post holder will work alongside the Service Manager, the multi disciplinary team and be part of the development of the services they support.

We are looking for a flexible, dynamic leader who can deliver mental health services which truly meet the needs of young people.

We encourage leaders from varied backgrounds, including; NHS, Social Care, Youth Justice, and Education.

This list is not exhaustive:

If you have the relevant qualifications, experience and skills in adolescent mental health we would encourage you to apply.

We are looking for people who see challenges as opportunities and can influence, inspire and energise others, as well as work with people's strengths to strive service improvement and patient experience.

To fully support their team and the Service Manager with the day to day delivery for their designated service area within the locality.

The post holder is responsible for ensuring the effective management of the day-to-day operational / clinical issues arising within mental health service delivery.

To actively monitor performance, quality, safety and service development within their service areas, in line with locality and Trust-wide policies and protocols.

To maintain performance with key performance indicators and ensure that their team(s) are providing a responsive, high quality service to clients, their families and carers and meeting commissioner and stakeholder expectations.

It is essential to engage the expertise, skills, experience and passion of clinicians, allied professionals and service users from a wide range of backgrounds, disciplines and specialisms.

A whole system approach is needed to deliver improved services for young people and their families.

When developing these roles, we spoke to young people to ask them what qualities they wanted from people within the service, and they told us they wanted people who are:

Flexible
Person centred
Goes the extra mile
Led by them
Put their needs first
Dynamic
Friendly
Approachable
Reliable

We want leaders that inspire people by positively influencing and driving change.

Our absolute commitment is to improve the lives of young people by providing a mental health service we can be proud of, one that shows compassion, kindness and hope at a time when families need it most.

Ensure that (practitioners / clinicians etc.) when working with service users consider the effects and impact of their mental health and risk behaviours on their families, and provide appropriate support, advice and education for all family members.
