Job overview

**We offer a relocation package of up to £8,000**

The relocation package is for anyone who would need to relocate in order to take up employment with Cheshire and Wirral Partnership. Terms and conditions apply please see attached document. 

If this applies to you, please state this on your application so we can discuss this with you if you are invited to interview.

An exciting opportunity has arisen to be part of our developing CYP Emergency and Urgent care provision. As part of the NHS 5 Year Forward View, CWP have developed the crisis response services for CYP. 

We are recruiting a number of clinicians to CWP’s newly formed CYP Urgent Support Team.

You will form part of our skilled, multidisciplinary team.  Clinicians will be offered the opportunity to continue to develop skills & experience in this area through the induction process, internal training, CPD & supervision.

The service will operate over 24 hours, 7 days a week to provide crisis mental health assessment & interventions for CYP in a range of settings, as well as operating the CYP aspect of the trust wide crisis line. Team members work 11.5 hour shifts. 

The service covers the whole of the CWP footprint, with multiple hubs across this patch.  This post is based in Crewe,  but all Clinical Co-ordinators are expected to travel to support hubs across the CWP patch based on clinical activity & service need.

Main duties of the job

Please see Job description in post advert for details.

Clinical Co-ordinators form an integral part of the service, with responsibilities such as supervision of junior staff, training and development, service development and overseeing complex cases and escalations.  Although a clinical role there are also aspects of management, such as performance management and rostering.

Applicants need to be able to think on their feet, working flexibly to manage incoming unplanned work across the day, leading a team of staff to achieve this, whilst offering support and clinical knowledge to junior staff. 

Working for our organisation

CWP provides health and care services for local people, including mental health, learning disability, community physical health and all-age disability care – including the provision of three GP surgeries.

 

Our aim is to help people to be the best they can be, adopting a compassionate, person-centred approach to everything we do. We were recently rated as Outstanding for Caring by the Care Quality Commission with a Good rating overall.

We offer a variety of roles at all levels, so whether you are just starting out in your career or looking to use your skills and experience in a new role, CWP is the right employer for you. 


CWP are committed to making our recruitment practices as inclusive as possible for everyone.  We are committed to promoting equality and diversity and developing a culture that values differences. 

To support this, we offer up to three weeks induction, dependent on role, with our Prepare to Care programme for all new starters. This aims to give you all the knowledge and guidance to help you grow and flourish with CWP.

We welcome applications from people who have direct experience of accessing our services.
