This is an exciting opportunity to work as a Senior Mental Health Practitioner within a newly developed CYP Mental Health Community Intensive Support Team which will provide intensive support and interventions for young people and their families within the community.

Your role will be integral to the delivery of an urgent care pathway for children and young people that is young person and family focussed, needs led, responsive, accessible and flexible.

A key element of your role will be to work collaboratively with the young person and their family or carers to develop a care plan and to provide time limited intensive support which promotes resilience and reduces the likelihood of future crisis episodes.

You will also work collaboratively with other services to ensure that plans are in place to meet any ongoing care and support needs of the young person and their family.

The hours of operation for the service will be variable and will require unsociable hours working that will be across 7 days per week.

Positions available are across Lancashire and South Cumbria so there will be flexibility in terms of base and agile working involved in the roles. There will be positions available in:

Central and West Lancashire

The Bay

We are looking for experienced practitioners who have an ethos of delivering young person centred, needs led, recovery focused and values based services. Successful applicants should be able to work sensitively and non-judgementally with children, young people & families who are in crisis.

Your main duties will include working intensively with children and young people to provide a collaboratively agreed time limited package of care and to support their families and carers to provide appropriate containment during periods of high expressed emotion and crisis.

You will promote active involvement of young people, their families and other significant persons in developing collaborative care/support plans and pro-active risk management plans, whilst liaising closely with children and young people's community mental health teams and specialist in-patient services to ensure that the least restrictive care option is provided to young people.
