Crynodeb
The CAMHS Schools’ Teams are part of an exciting trailblazer project funded by NHS England, Health Education England and partners with the aim of improving the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people in the community.
There is a specific focus on developing more access to helping and improving the general culture of emotional support within all primary and secondary schools and school provisions. Working alongside community partners, the Schools’ Teams will be fully integrated with community CAMHS and educational settings.
You would be joining a comprehensive and dynamic CAMH service, delivering a substantial stepped model of care following the needs-led i-Thrive framework. Your role will help to develop and deliver a wide range of interventions, projects and system change, with the aim of whole school and whole community approaches supporting young people's mental health.
In addition to providing comprehensive consultation, assessment, risk management and interventions for young people experiencing emotional and mental health difficulties in schools, the post holder will supervise more junior colleagues.
We are looking for a confident child and adolescent mental health professional, with experience of providing evidence-based interventions. You will be a child/young person (CYP) mental health practitioner (Family & Systemic Psychotherapist / Occupational Therapist / Registered Nurse / Social Worker / Arts Therapist /?SeniorCWP or EMHP).
The Luton Schools’ Teams will be working to reduce health inequalities in communities where these are most prominent, working closely with the schools and other external partners to address their most prominent needs by implementing whole schools approaches and targeted interventions. Luton is a very diverse locality, with high levels of the young population having English as an additional language.
Our mission is to make a positive difference to people's lives by improving the quality of life for all we serve. Our values are: We Care, We Respect, We are Inclusive – so we are looking for people who live and breathe these qualities when supporting service users and carers, and in their relationships with colleagues in the Trust and our partner organisations.
The CAMHS Schools Liaison Team (CSLT) focuses on early interventions, working closely with schools and our partners to improve access to mental health services for children and young people. The team will focus on the needs of the community to help reduce health inequalities, whilst delivering our whole school approach.
We offer an exciting and dynamic environment, where your ideas and career development will be valued. You will be supported directly by senior colleagues and we will develop the service together. You will be supported by regular, separate clinical and management supervision sessions, access to a variety of CPD sessions, and annual performance appraisals. You will also participate in weekly clinical discussions with the team.
