You will be a member of the Transforming Care LD and ASD Support Service across North Central London (NCL), providing coordination and direct support to children with learning disabilities and/or who are autistic and/or present with behaviours of concern.
This is a service providing targeted, intensive interventions for children and young people who are part of the LD & Autism cohort. The aim is to keep children/young people in the community, to prevent avoidable admissions to Tier 4 inpatient mental health services and 52-week residential placements, and to support young people in this cohort to be discharged from Tier 4 services and be supported back into the community.
You will provide high quality support to the children and young people and their families/carers, working as part of a team to help unblock the system, provide a bridge across different parts of the system including health, education, and social care, and be a key point of contact for families/carers who are part of the LD & Autism Programme. In addition, you will work with other professionals across the system to directly support families/carers across various settings to support the young person to remain in the community.
The 0-18 years Keyworker model aims to support reduction of the number of children in crisis and Tier 4 admissions, support timely assessments/formulations, provide children and families with the support that they need at the right time, improve transitions and quality of life, resulting in happy children and parents.
A key function will be to empower families and support them with navigating barriers across multiple services and organisations to effectively access the right support from the system. Our Keyworking model is about a set of functions introduced to the system via the Keyworking role, in addition to the current roles in place to support children, young people and their families. The Keyworking function will dynamically connect the system, coordinating care systemically to maximise local resources and work more effectively with families.
North London NHS Foundation Trust (NLFT) is committed to improving mental health care across North London to deliver excellent services to our local people.
