We are looking for experienced practitioners from a range of professional backgrounds, including nursing, social work and occupational therapy, to join our supportive multidisciplinary team. As a 24/7 service, successful applicants will work a rotational shift pattern including days, nights, weekends and bank holidays, with flexible working opportunities available in line with Trust policies. Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust is committed to staff wellbeing, learning and career development. We actively support continuing professional development, including opportunities to undertake CYP IAPT training and other relevant programmes to enhance skills and practice. Our team is known for its supportive culture, collaborative working and commitment to professional growth. Benefits include 27 to 33 days' annual leave plus bank holidays (depending on service), lease car and salary sacrifice schemes, occupational health services, and access to the Vivup salary sacrifice scheme for household goods.

Main duties of the job

We are looking for a dedicated and compassionate practitioner to join our Children and Young People's Crisis and Home Treatment Service. In this role, you will undertake comprehensive mental health assessments, develop clinical formulations and provide brief interventions for children and young people experiencing a crisis, ensuring they feel supported, understood and involved in their care. As Lead Professional for young people receiving home treatment, you will coordinate and deliver high-quality, person-centred care, assessing, planning, implementing and reviewing specialist care plans. Working closely with families, carers and partner agencies, you will help ensure timely and effective support that promotes recovery, resilience and positive outcomes. You will use your clinical judgement to assess risk, make informed decisions and provide interventions that meet the needs of young people and their families. Strong communication, assessment and risk management skills are essential, as is the ability to work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team. This is a community-based role requiring travel across the service area. Applicants must have access to suitable transport, as public transport alone may not meet service requirements. For an informal discussion, please contact Christine Asumang at christine.asumang1@nhs.net or Astyn Tinkler at astyn.tinkler@nhs.net.
