Mental Health Specialist Clinical Practitioner

The Complex Health Hub consists of 6 specialties, mental health, substance misuse, safeguarding, dementia support, mental capacity and learning disabilities and autism. The purpose of the hub is to bring the 6 specialties together to support the hospital to improve the care, treatment, and outcomes for individuals with complex needs. Working in a multi-disciplinary way enables our staff to discuss ideas, concerns, and complex cases with each other to identify and implement the appropriate intervention, increasing the likelihood of achieving the best outcome for the child. This post holder will sit under the mental health specialty of the hub. This new and exciting opportunity will see the successful candidate support the Paediatric Mental Health Clinical Nurse Specialist to provide specialist input to children with an identified mental health need and their families. This is an exciting post and an excellent opportunity for a registered professional to join an established hub, but in a newly formed post,

• To take a leading role in the delivery of integrated care planning, care co-ordination and risk management of patients who are considered to have a mental health need.
