Complete safety plans for all individuals we work with and manage any risk on an ongoing basis, in line with Teesside Minds Policies and Procedures. Escalate cases or make forward referrals, supervised by your line manager, if a young person requires a higher level of intervention. Keep a true and accurate record of case notes; to assist in your work with the young person and to allow line managers to understand the interventions you are undertaking with the young person. Be responsible for the safeguarding of children (and adults you come across in your work) and always promote their welfare. Make clear and accurate records of safeguarding concerns in line with Teesside Minds policy. Attend monthly supervision with your line manager, which will include line management supervision and case supervision. Discuss your achievements, challenges, and goals within the supervision, agree actions, and respond to these actions to improve competencies and practice. Contribute to and assist with monthly peer support sessions with other members of the team, discussing cases, giving examples of interventions you have successfully used and supporting other staff with their challenging cases. Share resources and interventions with other staff members. Attend team meetings and contribute where appropriate. Partake in monthly Continuous Professional Development (CPD), as organised by your line manager, and contribute ideas for more development. Be mindful of Teesside Minds Values and demonstrate these in your everyday work. Person Specification
