Jobs
Transitions Coordinator - CAMHS to Adulthood - Somerset
About the Role
Connect18 is a county-wide transitions service supporting young people as they move on from CAMHS Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services and develop into adulthood.
We provide up to 18 months of intervention, offering vital early support while they transition, often preventing the need for them to access adult mental health services.
Our approach is relationally focused, trauma-informed, and delivered by a skilled, multidisciplinary team of clinicians. Staff support each other through regular supervision (both formal and ad-hoc).
In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to:
- Build meaningful, therapeutic relationships with young people during a challenging period of change.
- Promote engagement in a flexible, responsive, and client-led way.
This position will see you:
- Working Monday to Friday, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm.
- Traveling across Somerset to meet young people in-person, removing barriers to accessing support.
