We are a multiagency rapid response service (MARRS) that delivers urgent support for children and young people who experience mental health crisis across Cornwall 24/7 365 days a year. We aim to build an integrated pathway that offers support and treatment for families in a joined-up way with support from health and social care. We have 3 bases in Cornwall (Bodmin, Truro and Helston), to provide a county wide service we would require to discuss this at interview.

We are an integrated, multi-disciplinary CAMHS team, who focus on ensuring children and young people, and their families, get the right help at the right time. Your expertise is essential in the new model of care to ensure adaptive mentalization based integrative treatment. You will be reaching out to those hard to engage young people and their families, working to prevent hospital admission and supporting young people and their families on their journey of recovery.

We are committed to enhancing this by offering you training opportunities to support our care delivery. You will be offered and supoort to complete a range of training including but not limited to: AMBIT, DBT, Solution focused, and trauma informed training.
