Job Description
We are looking to recruit two Band 6 Mental Health Transition Practitioners to support transition for young adults 18-25 into Community Mental Health Teams across Liverpool & Sefton and connect the young adult to their chosen pathway and interventions. The successful applicants will engage the young adult, carer, and referrer prior to referral, where possible, and support the young adult to make informed decisions around their treatment plan and transition.
The Transition Practitioners will strive to achieve the transition standards identified by NICE and will ensure the Mersey Care principles of transition are promoted. They will become an integral member of the Community Mental Health Team/MDT, while working closely with Children and Young People services and developing a good working relationship with services across the wider system, who are also supporting 18-25 transition throughout primary care and VCFSE's.
The Transition Practitioner will work within the CMHT but will display initiative and flexibility to support all potential referrals of young adults, 18-25 years of age. They will support young adults for a limited time period until the young adult has successfully achieved their transition goals and begun treatment within the team. They will act as their keyworker for this period of time, helping the young adult to navigate a complex mental health system and will support in being a point of contact for the young adult and carer.
The Transition Practitioner will regularly analyse the performance against the transition standards to understand where quality improvements can be made and to help shape the role across Community Mental Health Services.
Responsibilities
To oversee the implementation of National Institute for Health and Social Care Excellence (NICE) Quality Statements for transition for children and young people, aged 18-25, between CYP to AMHS and AMHS to AMHS services.

Assign a named worker for coordinated care and support before, during, and after transfer. Ensure meetings are held with practitioners from adult services before the transfer. Contact young people who do not attend their initial meetings or appointments to provide further opportunities to engage.
