WHO WE ARE:

Cardiff and Vale University Health Board is one of the largest Integrated Health Board in the UK, employing over 16,000 staff and providing over 100 specialist services. Serving a population of around 500,000 people living in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan, we are focussed on the health and care needs of our local population whilst also working with our partners to develop regional services.

Together we are committed to improving health outcomes for everyone and to delivering excellent care and support.

Our mission is “Living Well, Caring Well, Working Together”. We have recently refreshed our strategy, Shaping Our Future Wellbeing, which sets out the Health Board’s Vision for improving the health and wellbeing of the populations we serve by 2035 through the delivery of our strategic objectives;
Putting People First, Providing Outstanding Quality, Delivering in the Right Places, and Acting for the Future. We have challenging times ahead, but we are confident that by tackling these challenges together, we can support people to live healthier lives and reduce the unfair differences in the prevalence of illness and health outcomes we see in our communities today. We aspire to deliver outstanding care and treatment for people when they need it, where they need it;

care that compares well with the best in the world, but to do so, we need to transform how we deliver services over the next decade and beyond.

We are a values-driven organisation and out goals will only be realised if our values are at the heart of everything we do. Created by colleagues, patients and their families and carers, our values are:

· We are kind and caring

· We are respectful

· We have trust and integrity

· We take personal responsibility

OUR REGION:

Wales has much to offer with miles of stunning coastline, UNESCO world heritage sites and beautiful countryside. Cardiff, the thriving Welsh capital, has something for everyone. It is a fantastic city to live and work in with an abundance of sports, arts and cultural attractions. Situated to the west of Cardiff, the Vale of Glamorgan offers a combination of beautiful Welsh countryside and a dramatic natural coastline, as well as charming towns including Penarth and Cowbridge.

Those seeking more culture may find themselves drawn to the National Museum, St Fagan’s Museum of Welsh Life or the Millennium Centre, home of the Welsh National Opera. Whether city life or rural living, Cardiff and the Vale offers the best of both worlds.

Are you driven to improve the care and experience of children and young people (CYP) who access mental health services? Are you looking for an opportunity to play a pivotal role in CYP’s mental health journeys? We have an exciting opportunity for a Registered Mental Health Nurse to join our Intensive Home Treatment Team.

In recent years and in particular following the Covid-19 pandemic, CYP have experienced a significant impact on their emotional and mental health needs and the number of CYP accessing Crisis services has increased.

You will be joining our new Intensive Home Treatment Team (IHTT), a team of nurses providing intensive community support to CYP as an alternative to hospital admission and, where an acute hospital admission is required, you will support the CYP and their family/carer, working in collaboration with colleagues in CAMHS, across the UHB and local authority to ensure their needs are met.

The post holder will have experience working with CYP who present with complex, high risk behaviours. They will work with a team of multidisciplinary professionals to deliver a high quality service to children and young people presenting with moderate to severe mental health difficulties within the Cardiff and Vale locality.
