Summary
A Vacancy at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust.
The Clinical Support Unit for CAMHS within Manchester Foundation Trust was awarded an "Outstanding" rating by the Care Quality Commission both in 2016 and 2019. This is an exciting time to join the trust to be part of the Greater Manchester footprint committed to dynamic and responsive engagement with our community. North CAMHS is constantly recognised within RMCH CAMHS as a supportive and friendly team.
This is a brilliant opportunity for an experienced qualified practitioner to develop the partnership pathway within the service and support the Senior Leadership Team in the management of core CAMHS. You will promote and improve the mental health and well-being of Children, Young People and those who care for them. North Manchester CAMHS work with Children, Young People and Families aged up to 18 years who present with a wide range of complex emotional and behavioural difficulties. We are seeking to appoint a committed professional to join our experienced and highly motivated core team, based at The Bridge.
The team are supported by a vastly experienced multi-disciplinary team including psychiatrists, psychologists, nursing and AHPs in a warm friendly environment where staff wellbeing is as equally valued as the high standard of patient care that we deliver.
We believe in the development of our staff and offer regular clinical and managerial supervision alongside annual appraisal to identify opportunities to take you forward in your career and enhance the care we provide.
You must have a working knowledge of CAMHS and/or adult mental health and have an understanding of assessing complex mental health needs and levels of risk, including safeguarding and self-harm.
You will manage your own caseload, providing a range of high quality care appropriate to the child or young person's needs which will include; mental state assessment, risk assessment and management, family and social assessment, consultation and interventions. You will receive support from the Pathway Lead, Service Manager, Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Consultant CAMHS Psychiatrists.
The majority of your working time is to be targeted towards the clinical management of the partnership pathway, delivery of therapeutic interventions and supporting core partnership/complex case management. You will provide supervision to the partnership team and support the service manager in undertaking appraisals and monitoring annual leave and sickness within this team. This is an exciting opportunity to further your therapeutic career and influence the patients and their carers within North Manchester.
