The Clinical Assessor will have extensive experience and skill in carrying out initial assessments with students, assessing student risk, previous mental health history and identifying therapeutic goals which are suitable for a short term therapeutic intervention. The role involves referring students to external support where appropriate, for example, crisis mental health services, GP, NHS specialist services, other community services external to King’s. Clinical Assessors will become familiar with the internal Student Support Services available to students and refer students appropriately.
