Role Overview
This post is to work in the CAMHS Liaison Team based at the acute hospitals Emergency departments including the Queen's Medical Centre, King's Mill Hospital and Bassetlaw hospital. This service is a 24-hour service offering assessments of Children and Young People presenting to the Emergency Department in Crisis. The service also covers the Crisis phone line from 8 pm to 8 a.m.
The post holder will ensure young people receive appropriate assessment, intervention and treatment with minimal avoidable delays, whilst improving the quality and experience of care.

- To maintain professional standards, ensuring adherence to all relevant policies and procedures to ensure the delivery of high quality care.
