Full Job Description

  • You will provide brief interventions for young people who have presented in crisis where it is identified that additional intensive interventions are required, especially to avoid placement breakdown or admission to an adolescent mental health hospital, or residential care.
  • You will be working with young people who may have self-harmed and/or expressed suicidal thoughts. You will therefore need to be aware of risk identification and management (with support of a case-holding Clinician).
  • You will work with parents/carer of the young people in crisis (where clinically indicated) offering support, advice and psychoeducation.
  • You will work with the young person to ensure they are heard, validated and their needs are understood.
  • You will play an important key role in liaising with multi-agency partners to ensure the young person's needs are communicated and all agencies work collaboratively together.
  • You will work closely with the wider Children and Adolescent's Mental Health services in Berkshire as well as local authority, education colleagues and other services/agencies as required.
  • You will be supported, guided and supervised by senior Clinicians in the team.
  • You will receive training to enable you to offer interventions such as DBT skills (Dialectical Behavioural Therapy skills), to enable you to support young people to develop emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills.

    Do you want to work with young people and families and have transferable skills to work with complex mental health needs? We have an exciting opportunity to work for a Trust that is rated 'Outstanding' by the CQC.
