Job Overview This role is a key element of the GM wide Crisis Care Pathway, which is child-centred, needs-led, responsive, accessible, and flexible. The post will be instrumental in the success and future developments of the pathway and will ensure that all professional and patient contact with the service is of the highest professional standard at all times. Working as senior clinical staff, you will respond rapidly to requests for assistance when a young person is presenting in crisis. You will contribute to the assessment and management of young people experiencing episodes of crisis within a clear and structured Risk Assessment and Risk Reduction framework and identify therapeutic goals to support the young person and families/carers. You will refer on to specialist in-patient services as necessary or work collaboratively with other services involved to reduce the need for inpatient care. You will develop holistic, safety and recovery focused care plans and mobilise support around the child and family to promote resilience and reduce the likelihood of future crisis episodes. As a member of the multi-disciplinary team, the service will intensively support young people and families under a number of different pathways including an in-reach, consultation and assessment model where a young person has been admitted to a paediatric ward, out of hours Crisis Access and Referral Point, rapid intervention on 72-hour care pathways and longer-term intervention on 4-6 week care pathways.
Main Duties of the Job This is an exciting time to join the CYP Crisis Care Service. The Paediatric Liaison Pathway is a newly developed pathway to support CYP, families, and Acute colleagues to ensure that CYP can be safely discharged from Paediatric wards when they are medically optimised but may have mental health and/or safeguarding needs. Assessments will ensure that CYP can be supported in the community using least restrictive practice by the most appropriate service for their needs.
We welcome applications from dedicated, experienced practitioners from nursing, social work or occupational therapy disciplines who feel they can work innovatively and collaboratively to develop the service and support staff in its delivery.
The Crisis Care Service is an extended hours service and the current operational hours are 8am – 10pm 7 days per week including weekends, and the role will cover the service within these times. We will, however, consider applications from candidates who wish to explore full-time, part-time, condensed hours, and flexible working.
