Job Opportunity: Greater Manchester Assessment and In-reach Team
About the Role
We have an opportunity for you to join the Greater Manchester Assessment and In-reach Team or GMAIC, as it's often referred to. This is a 12-month post covering our colleague, who is heading off on maternity leave.
Key Responsibilities
- Demonstrate relevant experience working with children and young people with mental health difficulties and evidence their skills in the assessment of risk.
- Experience of working across agencies and developing holistic care plans.
- Knowledge of relevant legislation is preferred and a sound understanding of safeguarding processes is essential.
- Be enthusiastic, demonstrate a proactive approach to their work, engage in learning and development, and be passionate about working within crisis care.
What We Offer
The assessment centre is committed to supporting the successful individual within a robust development framework and will offer appropriate support and regular supervision.
GMAIC’s role is to offer gatekeeping assessments, bed management, and case management to any CYP, who may require a Tier 4 Inpatient admission. We work in collaboration with our NHS inpatient providers, for any Tier 4 referral/request for an Inpatient admission.
Impact
You will have the opportunity to make profound improvements in how crisis care is experienced by young people and those who care for them.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will be working closely with our inpatient colleagues and have responsibility of managing the Single Point of Access for all Inpatient referrals for the GM population of 13-18 year old young people who are being considered for inpatient care.
This will involve working with CYP with a variety of mental health difficulties and diagnosis such as Psychosis, Bipolar Disorder, Emotional dysregulation, Schizophrenia, Depression/anxiety, LD, ASD, ADHD, PTSD, Conduct disorder, and Attachment difficulties.
You will also have the opportunity to work closely with external services such as social care, CAMHS, FCAMHS, CMHT, CEDS, EIT, HTT to ensure the correct pathways are in place, to support our CYP’s discharge from hospital.
We have seen already how we have positively impacted in ensuring that our young people are being supported within local services, and with the help of our colleagues within RRT reducing the dependency on inpatient care, meaning young people are getting supported at home, in a timely manner.
As a member of the Greater Manchester Assessment and Inreach Centre you will be at the heart of a well-funded, well-organised, hugely valued work-stream.
