Band 4 Support Workers

This is an exciting opportunity for 5 passionate Support Workers to join the new CAMHS Intensive Community Crisis Service, developing across East London.

The East London CAMHS Intensive Community Crisis Service is a team developing across East London that, when fully established will operated Monday-Sunday 09:00-17:00 and aim to provide the following for CYP based in City & Hackney, Newham and Tower Hamlets:

• Multi-disciplinary support including assessment, diagnosis and treatment to CYP with serious mental illness where inpatient admission would otherwise be required or as part of supported discharge
• Interventions and support provided by ICCS may be up for up to 8 weeks and include individual work, family work, psychiatric assessment, medication management, psycho-education, work on activities of daily living, multi-agency liaison, collaborative care planning, facilitated integration into community resources - as close to home as possible
• Empower children and young people to recover from mental health crisis

The post holder will work with other multi-disciplinary team members to support the delivery of high-quality assessment and treatment interventions for young people in ICCS – under the direct and indirect supervision of a registered professional.

They will have an awareness of risk management techniques, as well as clear understanding of escalation protocols.

They will utilise skills to be able to creatively deliver interventions to a diverse population, working in a culturally informed way – maintaining a good knowledge of local resources to support young people to reintegrate into the community.

The post holder will need to work flexibly across the three boroughs, based on the needs of CYP and their families. Appointments will be conducted as according to these individuals and may take place in a variety of locations – such as patient homes, local community settings, community CAMHS sites or in inpatient wards when needed.

They will contribute to wide team functions, such as audits, quality improvement, research and service evaluation.

Our mission is to make a positive difference to people's lives by improving the quality of life for all we serve. Our values are: We Care, We Respect, We are Inclusive – so we are looking for people who live and breathe these qualities when supporting service users and carers, and in their relationships with colleagues in the Trust and our partner organisations.
