Stand by, we'll show you...
Would you like to work in an innovative CAMHS Tier 4 service based in the community?
Are you interested in delivering intensive community support to young people and their families, as an alternative to hospital admission?
Are you keen to work with highly motivated and passionate colleagues?
The Learning Disability and Autism Hospital at Home team, is an innovative new service being developed under the Thames Valley Provider Collaborative. The team will focus on young people with moderate to severe learning disabilities AND/OR a severe degree of functional impairment associated with an autism diagnosis who are at risk of home or placement breakdown and who could meet the threshold for inpatient care.
In some cases, the team will help prevent unnecessary admissions and in others, young people will be stepped down from tier 4 care through the LDA Hospital at Home team. LDA Hospital at Home maximizes the use of new technology, provides care close to home, reduces admission, length of stay, waiting times and provides earlier discharge from inpatient care.By supporting the care pathway, we will be offering a bespoke service where children and young people are cared for by receiving the appropriate intensity of support but in their own communities. This will:
- Reduce the burden on families to travel long distances
- Enhance continued engagement with community clinical teams
- Encourage early therapeutic home leave
- Minimise Length of Stay
- Avoid admission
Some of your key duties will include:
- Supporting young people and their families experiencing a wide range of mental health issues.
- Delivering evidence based interventions in clinic and in the community.
- Working alongside a range of practitioners.
- Working within the agreed, individualised model providing evidence based interventions for a wide variety of presentations to support young people and their families and carers within a community setting.
- Linking into inpatient settings to help young people transition back to the community.
- Working alongside a wide variety of professionals.
- Working with a wide network of people involved in the care and treatment of the young person.
- Travelling to see people in the setting that is best for them.
- Providing meal supports for people who are struggling at meal times.
- Working flexibly with extended hours and some weekend working
- Feeding back any concerns or issues related to the safety of the people you are working with.
In this role, we'll offer you clinical supervision, management supervision, reflective spaces, along with opportunities for training and continued professional development. You will also have the opportunity to link with several services across the Thames Valley collaborative within CAMHS.
We're committed to delivering an excellent induction to embed you into the service and ensure you have the skills and confidence to enjoy your job. We'll also provide the most helpful in house training pertinent to your role to help you develop the right skills.
Please answer the following questions in your personal statement for the role:
- what does being a support worker in the LDA H@H team mean to you?
- what do you think will make the most difference supporting young people with an LD or Autism diagnosis to stay in the community as an alternative to inpatient support?
