RISE Crisis Practitioner - Band 7

Trosolwg o'r swydd

An exciting opportunity has arisen within the expansion of the children’s crisis and home treatment team where we have a band 7 practitioner role available. We believe in having a good work life balance which is why we offer flexible working agreements and compressed hours.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated registered professional to join our friendly multi agency team and help us on our journey to offering outstanding care for the children and young people (CYP) within Coventry and Warwickshire. Our team consists of Mental health nurses, Paediatric nurses, Learning disability nurses, social workers and occupational therapists.

We offer a generous package of support for our team such as regular supervision, training/shadowing opportunities and wellbeing support.

The Crisis and home treatment model is part of the Tier 3.5 service provision which focuses on a high risk management pathway, to prevent avoidable admissions and support discharges from inpatient units. This is so CYP are in the least restrictive service for their needs. The team has been going through a transformation from the role of the Acute Liaison team to be embedded into the Crisis and Home treatment model for CYP and providing a seamless crisis response no matter where the access point is.

If you would like to know more information about this role or come and meet the team then please get in touch for an informal chat

Your working day within the team will vary and be dependent on the young person’s needs. You will be providing assessments, short-term intervention to CYP in crisis and referrals onto other services. You will provide mental health care to CYP and their families in line with local and national guidelines. The care you will provide will be in a range of settings such as the RISE community clinics, Acute hospital wards, young people’s homes or educational setting.

Our team operates between the hours of 8am – 8pm Monday-Sunday where you will work staggered shift patterns which can be discussed within your interview. The role requires some flexible working with overnight on call support to the adult crisis team who take our helpline calls between 8pm – 8am.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work alongside already experienced RISE Crisis Practitioners, as well as being a key member of system approach in terms of collaboration with Commissioners, Acute Trust’s and the Rise Leadership Team. Your role within the team will lead and shape the evolution of a service model that will transform the care and treatment for CYP in crisis. Your role also includes supporting the band 2-6’s within the team.
