- Registered with the NMC
- Experienced in risk management
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced and varied role
- Adaptable, organised, compassionate and a team player
- Experienced working within a mental health setting
It would also be advantageous if you are:
- Experienced working in CAMHS (Children and Young Peoples Mental Health Services) and/or inpatient settings, experience with developmental trauma, neuro-disability and/or forensic CAMHS.
- A nurse prescriber qualification would also be desirable - and if not already an interest in completing this qualification would be essential.
Please see attached Job Description and Person Specification for full details of the role.
The setting
Lansdowne Secure Childrens Home is 12 bedded provision for young people aged 12-17. The young people are placed with us for welfare reasons, secured under the Children's Act (1989), Section 25. They have a history of persistent absconding and are likely to continue to abscond from anything other than secure accommodation, during which episodes they are likely to suffer significant harm, or injure themselves or others. The young people have complex needs and are described as high need/high vulnerability/high risk.
The IHEWS Team
The Integrated Health & Emotional Wellbeing Service (IHEWS) is an embedded multidisciplinary health team commissioned by NHS England to support the physical and mental healthcare needs of young people at Lansdowne Secure Children's Home (SCH). It is a small, welcoming and supportive team of 6.5 wte across physical and mental health nursing, psychology, occupational therapy, psychiatry, speech and language therapy and administration.
You will need to be able to work autonomously but will also work closely with the Physical Health Senior Nurse Practitioner and the wider multi-disciplinary health team and will receive supervision from both a Senior Nurse in the SPFT Acute CAMHS Nursing team and a Clinical Psychologist in the IHEWS.
IHEWS aims to:
1. Improve the health and wellbeing outcomes of the young people - this will help address health inequalities and provide an environment which enables good health and wellbeing.
2. Help improve trauma informed understanding and practice in the wider health, social care and educational setting - this will enhance psychological knowledge and skills of all staff groups and support organisational development.
3. Support the development of emotionally resilient staff who feel cared for, safe and supported - this will provide the most helpful therapeutic environment for the complex young people cared for in this setting.
The trust
You will be part of an active team of nurses in CAMHS and will be welcomed to local professional meetings and CPD events that focus on professional issues and supporting children and young people, with colleagues from all branches of nursing.
The trust is committed to supporting its nurses to progress professionally across the 4 pillars of nursing - Clinical Practice, Facilitating Learning, Leadership and Evidence, Research and Development. A copy of the CAMHS and Specialist Services Nursing Strategy 2022-2027 can be found here.
You will be supported by the IHEWS with the space and time to grow and develop in your nursing role.
