We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated person 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 and social worker.

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.

Your working day within the team will vary and be dependent on the young person’s needs. You will be providing short-term intervention to CYP in crisis. 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. We have two team leads, Clinical Band 7’s and 6's. Band 4 and 3 support workers who supports the delivery of this service.

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.

We are a part of an exciting expansion of Rise specialist services and the transformation of local service provisions for CYP in Crisis across Coventry and Warwickshire.

We put ‘people at our heart’; this ethos is at the centre of everything we do and how we do it. We care for our staff and colleagues as much as they care for others and offer a wide range of benefits and development opportunities.
