Are you dedicated to improving the lives of children and young people?

Do you thrive in environments where you can help to deliver impactful, short-term interventions? 

Are you looking to take the leap into a leadership? 

We, the Crisis and Home Treatment Service (CAHTS), embedded within the Bath, North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire (BSW) Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), are looking for a Clinical Specialist to join us. 

We work closely alongside and liaise with the Getting More Help Team on supporting children, young people (CYP) and their families experiencing complex mental health difficulties, such as anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation. Our CYP might be at risk of inpatient hospital admission or transitioning out of inpatient care; our role is to provide intensive, short-term support within the community (e.g. schools, in CYP’s homes, inpatient settings). No two days are the same, and there’s plenty of variety in this role and lots of opportunities for learning.

As a Clinical Specialist, you might be a Social Worker, Occupational Therapist or Mental Health Nurse, and you’ll be leading and supporting clinicians within our CAHTS team to deliver great care.

You’ll provide clinical supervision, reflective practice and formulation of cases, as well as hold a small clinical caseload.

This is a senior role where you would support CAHTS staff whilst working closely with the community team manager and the wider CAMHS teams.

Children and Young people within our service are often experiencing an increased level of mental health needs, including exhibiting increased risk behaviours. Whilst this can sometimes feel daunting, we have a strong multi-disciplinary leadership team who are responsive to the needs of the team.

Liaising with statutory agencies and the voluntary sector is key in this role, so you will need highly developed communication skills. 

You will offer clinical supervision and be pivotal in the underpinning of practice and staff development.

We have had great feedback from staff about our model of having CAHTS staff embedded in the local CAMHS teams, such that they feel part of a wider team, giving them extended opportunities to learn new skills whilst feeling supported and safe.

Working with the CAHTS Team, and the Getting More Help Team, will provide opportunities to widen your knowledge and skills base, at the same time being supported through supervision, face to face and virtual team meetings, and regular team away days.
