Job Description
CATAT, who after our first year of being live (2023), was highly recommended for the Working Together for Better Mental Health at the staff excellence awards. We are looking for professionals who have a keen interest in working with CYP and their families, wanting to help them achieve better outcomes for their future and strive to keep them in the community.
About the Role
The aim of our team is to prevent CYP from having inpatient admissions wherever possible, and to support them and their family in the community in a proactive way. The team will serve as a gateway in and out of Tier 4 (T4) provision. CATAT work alongside the core community teams as well as partner agencies to offer CYP increased/additional support. This helps with a jointly holding risk, collaborative working, and continuity of care.
CATAT's Main Pathways
Admission Avoidance
- Least restrictive option
- CYP who are already open to a core team but need a more intensive intervention to support their mental health needs
- To prevent things from worsening and/or needing a hospital admission
The team between 2022 - 2025 has avoided over 200 admissions. If you want to help continue to increase these successes, why not apply now and join us!
