Summary
A Vacancy at Barnet, Enfield & Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust.
Are you passionate about working with neurodiverse young people and their families? Are you looking for a new and rewarding opportunity? Then look no further and read on…
We are boosting our clinical offer for neurodiverse young people and/or with a learning disability. As part of exciting new developments across North Central London, aimed at enhancing the existing mental health crisis services for neurodiverse young people and their families where there is diagnosis or suspected neurodevelopmental concern and/or a learning disability, with the aim of avoiding unnecessary admissions to mental health inpatient units and reducing the length of hospital stays. As part of this, Specialist Clinical Practitioners are being recruited for each of the 5 NCL boroughs – Camden, Islington, Barnet, Enfield, and Haringey.
A post will be based in either Barnet Enfield or Haringey within the CAMHS Adolescent Outreach Teams, who work with CYP with acute, complex, and chronic mental health difficulties. The post holder will also interface with local sector inpatient units, acute paediatric wards and Emergency Departments, Home Treatment Teams, LD/ASD Keyworker services and CAMHS neurodevelopmental pathways. The posts aim to enhance the local community support offer, improving complex discharge planning, and reducing the length of inpatient stays for neurodiverse young people and/or with a learning disability.
What does the role entail?
This post will be case holding, offering direct clinical interventions to a small clinical caseload, working individually with neurodiverse young people and their families where there is diagnosis or suspected neurodevelopmental challenges and/or a learning disability; providing specialist, adjusted, support and interventions, which may include Positive Behaviour Support (PBS)-based interventions and/or CBT. The post will also offer advocacy and support for CYP and families in navigating local systems and processes, e.g., CETRs, and accessing autism-informed social prescribing and other appropriate local resources and services. The role will involve indirect work such as consultation to residential units, upskilling other CAMHS clinicians in therapeutic models, adjusting treatments for CYP with neurodiverse profiles as well as training networks around management of behaviours that challenge.
This role offers an excellent opportunity for an established Band 8a clinician or an experienced Band 7 looking to develop and diversify skills working with neurodiverse young people and their families where there is diagnosis or suspected neurodevelopmental concern and/or a learning disability, and who present with significant and sometimes complex behavioural and/or mental health challenges.
