Crynodeb
The North Central London (NCL) Crisis Single Point of Access will provide a 24/7, all age, first point of telephone contact service for people experiencing mental health crisis, their families, carers; and other healthcare professionals including London ambulance service, and the police calling for advice and/or to refer into local crisis services. The service will also respond to urgent mental health calls from people calling via NHS 111 (option 2).
This NCL service will be hosted in partnership by BEH Mental Health NHS Trust and Camden & Islington NHS Foundation Trust and will be based at St Ann’s Hospital. The CAMHS Advanced Mental Health Practitioner postholder is expected to work flexibly across the service and will act as a senior role model and supervisor to clinicians in the team to ensure delivery of a high-quality service.
The post holder will provide short-term, targeted telephone interventions to support young people in distress, as well as providing advice and support for parents and carers who have concerns about their child or young person’s mental health including de-escalating of crises - reducing unnecessary A&E presentations (and potentially admissions) via alternative routes of support.
The post holder will provide compassionate care that is based on empathy, kindness, respect and dignity, and role model this to staff within the team. The post holder will ensure effective triaging and screening of referrals and support the clinicians in managing complex referrals. They will be responsible for organizing the roster and always ensuing safe staffing. The post holder will work closely and maintain excellent communication and working relationships with partner crisis and community services, LAS, Police and Third Sector services. The post holder will provide management support as delegated by the Operational Manager, including supervision of staff, team training, service development initiatives and be expected to deputise for the Operational Manager in their absence.
