Are you looking to develop your skills and career?
We are seeking a clinically skilled, enthusiastic, and motivated Clinical Team Leader to join our Children and Young Peoples Inpatient Services at Pebble Lodge, our CAMHS GAU.
About the Role
The ward is a 10-bedded CAMHS Inpatient Unit providing innovative, high-quality care to young people aged 13-18 who are suffering from acute mental illness. The purpose of the ward is to offer comprehensive assessments and treatment so Service Users can have shorter stays in hospital.
Responsibilities
As a Clinical Team Leader, you will:
- Help lead the team providing high-quality care to young people.
- Work in a supportive team to provide individual care to those within the unit in accordance with the integrated care programme approach.
- Assist in the organization and be responsible for the safety and well-being of young people.
- Establish and develop effective liaison and communication with all disciplines, agencies, parents, carers, and service users.
Benefits
- We provide in-depth initial and ongoing inductions, mandatory/personal training programmes, plus clinical and management supervision.
- We are a 24-hour service and have a variety of shifts including full and part-time hours to support your needs, which can be discussed at interview.
- Long Days: 7:00-20:00
- Nights: 19:30 – 7:30
Requirements
- Make judgements about appropriate models of treatment, often involving highly complex issues and situations and thus requiring analysis, comparison, and interpretation of a range of options.
- Attend and participate in ward rounds, clinical case meetings, and CPA reviews to ensure the needs of children, young people, and their families/carers are addressed to support their recovery.
- Be involved in teaching staff of all levels and actively promote the development of the service.
- Day-to-day supervision and management of band 5 Tier 4 CAMHS nurses/staff nurses and mental health support workers.
- You will be required to undertake a Prevention and Management of Violence and Aggression course, and it is a condition of your employment that you successfully complete all aspects of this course; if this is not achieved, you will not be able to commence working in the post.
