Job description

Youth Mental Health Hospital in the Home

Do you want to make a difference in the lives of young people and their families?  Would you like to work in a dynamic multidisciplinary team, providing intensive mental health care within a young person’s home? Then come join our new Youth Mental Health Hospital in the Home (Y-HiTH) service!

The CAMHS Y-HiTH is a new service for the North West region, based in Devonport.

Our aim is to support young people (16–24-year-old) who maybe experiencing an acute episode of mental illness to receive treatment in their home and within the community, rather than being admitted to an inpatient mental health unit, or as part of a discharge plan from hospital. 

The Y-HiTH team will work with the young person and their family/significant others to develop an individual treatment plan that supports their recovery.  With multiple home visits occurring everyday and additional support via telephone and telehealth, young people will receive comparable treatment from Y-HiTH as they would from an inpatient admission. 

The Role:

  • With a focus on engagement, work in collaboration with the young person, their family/significant others, to plan, implement and evaluate nursing care that is evidence based, person centred, and trauma informed.
  • Function as an active member of the multidisciplinary team (MDT) to provide care to all consumers of the service, which includes biopsychosocial assessments, therapeutic engagement, monitoring and review of mental state and response to treatments, and updates to the care plan in consultation with the young person, their families/significant others and the MDT.
  • As a member of the service, evaluate the effectiveness of nursing strategies in meeting anticipated treatment outcomes and participate in the development and revision of organisational documentation, policies, protocols, and procedures relating to nursing based best practice and the model of care for the Youth Mental Health Hospital in the Home.
  • Complete all required clinical documentation, including assessments, risk assessment, transfer of care, relevant clinical correspondence, and clinical data collection, within specified timeframes, predominantly via electronic consumer records systems.

Note: - Please refer to the Statement of Duties for all the selection criteria of this position to address in your application.
