An exciting opportunity has arisen to be part of our developing Children and Young People's (CYP) Emergency and Urgent care provision. As part of the NHS 5 Year Forward View, CWP have undertaken the development of the crisis response services for Children and Young People (CYP).

You will work collaboratively to promote safety and support young people and their family/carers through face to face work and via the CWP Trust Wide Crisis Line. The post also involves liaison with other services and external agencies to ensure effective pathways of care.
Main duties of the job
The service will operate over 24 hours, 7 days per week to provide crisis mental health assessment and interventions for CYP in a range of settings. Currently the service operates between 8am and 20:30pm, but will move to a 24 hour service in April 2024. Team members work 11.5 hour shifts, but flexible working requests will be considered.
