Crisis Intervention Practitioner NEH

Due to exciting changes, we are seeking Band 7 Crisis Intervention Nurses within the Mindworks Crisis Intervention Service for the North East Hants area.

The Mindworks Alliance is a partnership between traditional CAMHS Services and third sector/voluntary agencies working to meet the emotional and mental health needs of CYP in Surrey and now NE Hants. Our team provides a 7‑day week Crisis Intervention Service, offering discovery conversations to CYP and their families/carers presenting with emotional and mental health crisis in local acute hospitals and community bases.

Operational hours are 9am‑5pm Monday‑Sunday including Bank Holidays. Unsocial and weekend shifts will be expected and we use the e‑roster system to ensure you are aware of your shifts. Your main base will be Aldershot Centre for Health, though you will be expected to be in reach to Frimley Park Hospital and homes of CYP.

• Lead and support assessment, risk and care planning alongside CYP, their family/carers and the acute staff to safely facilitate discharge with follow‑up care planned in the community within 7 days.
• Offer up to 6 follow‑up sessions with the CYP and ensure referral and sign‑posting to appropriate services for longer‑term follow‑up is put in place and supportive discharge/transfer facilitated.
• Support junior staff to provide high‑quality care, sharing learning and developing skills through supervision and training while maintaining KPI's and collecting data to support the service growth and development.
• Maintain service quality and contribute to structured career progression with recognised training packages including CPD modules in assessment and risk assessment of adolescents and DBT‑A.

• Appropriate professional registration with NMC or HCPC or SW England.
• Experience and competence in working with vulnerable people in crisis is essential.
• Experience working with young people in crisis is desirable.

• Structured career progression with recognised training packages including CPD modules.
• Development opportunities for future leadership career pathways.
