Are you looking for a new challenge where you can make a difference in the lives of vulnerable young people aged 16-25 who are at risk of or are using substances, not in education, employment or training and are homeless? Young people who are also at risk of CSE, County Lines and have complex needs.
We have an exciting opportunity for a Nurse, Occupational Therapist or Social Worker to join Surrey & Borders NHS Foundation Trust in the newly developed Surrey Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health (EWMH) Service. As part of a busy CYPS Directorate and alongside our Alliance Partnership including local voluntary sector organisations you will be based in our newly transformed reaching out service. You will be a part of the Assertive Engagement Pathway within the Reaching Out Service. The Reaching Out service focuses on engaging and supporting the most isolated and vulnerable children and young people through a multi-agency network.
You will work collaboratively with other services both internal and external within a borough/ locality to provide consultations and mental health assessments with young people to assist young people to fulfil their potential and to make a successful transition to adulthood.
You will have demonstrable expertise working with young people aged between 16 and 25. A key part of this role is building relationships and trust with young people. An important requirement of a successful candidate is the ability to creatively adapt their approach to engage with each individual and be approachable, friendly, and tenacious. Through building a trusting relationship, the Reaching Out Mental Health Practitioner will be able to develop a deeper understanding of the needs of young people and be able to signpost or refer to more appropriate services. This role will involve outreach into the community to meet young people in their own or choice of environment.
We are looking for clinicians who are creative, highly motivated, show initiative and are passionate and committed for ensuring high quality services for people with mental health needs.
Excellent opportunities will be available for training and professional development both locally, within SABP network and across the entire alliance including the Tavistock and Portman. The post holder will receive robust clinical supervision
