Risk Management jobs in United Kingdom

Are you passionate about supporting children's mental health?

In our North Oxfordshire Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) Getting More Help Team, we are proud to be developing a needs-led, responsive and accessible service based on the Thrive model.

We're looking for you to join our team as a Senior Mental Health Practitioner - you might be a Registered Mental Health Nurse, Social Worker or Occupational Therapist and have a range of experience.

You will work as part of a multidisciplinary team supporting children and young people with mental health difficulties, alongside Family Therapists, Psychologists, Psychotherapists and Psychiatrists.

We will provide supervision and training tailored to your clinical needs.

This part-time post (22.5 hours a week) offers flexibility in working days. We deliver services from several North Locality bases, including Witney, Banbury, Bicester and Oxford, and will supply all necessary equipment.

We value teamwork, supporting one another, and celebrating our successes in helping children and young people.

You will have opportunities to develop your clinical skills through mandatory and ongoing training, including CBT/DBT-informed approaches. CAMHS specialist teams also provide regular in-house sessions.

The CAMHS North Getting More Help Team serves the communities of Witney, Bicester, Banbury and parts of Oxford, operating Monday–Friday, 9am–5pm.

Our North team is a supportive team: we know that delivering the best care means we need to make sure we are looking after you, so we focus on clinicians' wellbeing. We understand that working in CAMHS can be challenging and therefore strive to ensure that clinicians are well supported. Team managers work alongside clinicians to ensure that individual job plans are created to support clinicians in managing capacity of caseloads.

In this role, you will:

• Deliver generic mental health assessments and risk assessments for children and young people (CYP) open to the Getting More Help Team.
• Work collaboratively with CYP families/other agencies to develop holistic plans of care which are evidence based
• Hold a clinical caseload which consists of providing evidence based therapies and working with other professionals to meet the needs of children and young people with mental health needs.

We have a duty rota which we'll need you to partake in: this involves the clinician to respond and support plans for children and young people who are waiting for our service.
