* Assess risk, mental state, and psychosocial needs to create clear and effective care plans
* Provide short-term support and intervention, working with families and other services to promote safety and recovery

* Work as part of a multi-agency network, including community CAMHS, social care, education, and acute services
* Attend, chair and contribute to safeguarding and child protection meetings to support safe and joined-up care
* Use Routine Outcome Measures (ROMs) as part of every clinical contact to support care planning and service development
* Take part in and provide regular clinical and managerial supervision to junior staff when appropriate
