This Mental Health Practitioner (MHP) post will be based at Chester.
An exciting opportunity has arisen to be part of our developing Children and Young People’s (CYP) Emergency and Urgent care provision. As part of the NHS 5 Year Forward View, CWP has undertaken the development of the crisis response services for Children and Young People (CYP).
We are continuing to recruit a number of enthusiastic and motivated clinicians to CWP’s developing CYP Urgent Support Team.
These dynamic team members will form part of our skilled, multidisciplinary team. Clinicians will be offered the opportunity to develop skills and experience in this area through the induction process, internal training, Continuing Professional Development (CPD), and supervision.
The service operates over 24 hours, 7 days per week to provide crisis mental health assessment and brief interventions for CYP in a range of settings in line with the Urgent and Emergency Mental Health Care for CYP implementation guidance.
Clinical knowledge and relevant experience of assessing and managing risk within a mental health or social care setting is highly desirable although not essential, as continuing support and development opportunities will be provided. Professional registration with HCPC, Social Work England or NMC is required.
Key components of the role include comprehensive mental health risk assessment, planning crisis interventions and appropriately safeguarding young people. You will work collaboratively to promote safety and support young people and their family/carers through face-to-face work and via the CWP Trust Wide Crisis Line. The post also involves liaison with other services and external agencies to ensure effective pathways of care.
The posts will cover the Cheshire and Wirral Partnership footprint, therefore access to transport for work purposes is essential. The role is based at Chester.
