Description

An exciting 12-month opportunity has arisen to lead and develop a project working alongside the ARRS Mental Health Team in Primary Care.

The aims of the project are to strengthen the liaison relationship between North Staffordshire Combined CYPand Young Adults Mental Health Services and Primary Care.

Your role will be to support clinical decisions and discussions for CYP who are not known to NSCHT services or those who are open to NSCHT mental health care to support GPs who need advice.

You will lead in the approach to review CYP referred from primary care and assess where their needs can be best met.

Your role will involve providing expert guidance, advice and interventions to children, Young People, and their families and the professionals working around them in the areas of Youth Mental Health in primary care who have been discharged or not engaged with NSCHT services, ensuring the needs of the CYP are navigated to the right place at the right time alongside the GP.

The post holder will work closely with the Primary care Network, GP practices, senior mental health practitioner and STR worker, to identify children and young people who require early help and support with their mental health but may find it difficult to access the range of services currently available due to social circumstances or significant vulnerabilities.
