Job summary
Oxfordshire's Mental Health Urgent Care pathway is now established and comprises the Adult Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Team, CAMHS Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment, emergency department liaison services, and the mental health helpline.
The function of the CAMHS Crisis and Home Treatment Team is to provide patient-centred intensive care and treatment to patients and their families at home as an alternative to hospital admission. Crisis care is a highly specialist intervention and involves supporting our most vulnerable patients and their families in the least restrictive setting possible by providing a variety of recovery-focused psychosocial interventions that enable the person to regain or maintain independence.
The CAMHS CRHTT operates 24 hours a day, with core hours 08:00-20:00, and works closely with CAMHS community services, inpatient wards, children's social care, schools, local acute hospitals, and other emergency services (ambulance & police).
Successful post holders will be expected to actively contribute to the ongoing evaluation and development of interventions. We are proud to say our clinical model embodies the highest standards of care, with a key purpose of the service being our responsiveness (and excellence in patient care) to all aspects of crisis presentation. The values and personal attributes of the successful post holder are key to our on-going success.
Main duties of the job
As a Clinical/Counselling Psychologist in the CAMHS Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Team, you will:
- Provide specialist psychological assessment, formulation, risk assessment and evidence-based interventions for children and young people experiencing severe or complex mental health crises, working closely with their families and professional networks to support safe care at home wherever possible.
- Work autonomously as part of a multidisciplinary, countywide service, offering consultation, advice, training and supervision to colleagues, trainees and assistant psychologists, while maintaining high-quality clinical records and contributing to care planning and review.
The role also involves travelling independently between community settings across Oxfordshire and contributing to audit, research, service evaluation and the continuing development of responsive, accessible crisis care; it will therefore suit an experienced, compassionate and resilient practitioner who communicates well, manages competing demands and is comfortable working flexibly with at times highly emotive unpredictable situations.
