Who we are
Off The Record Bath & North East Somerset (OTR) is a mental health and wellbeing charity that gives local children and young people (CYP) a safe space to be heard and be themselves. We provide a range of services for CYP, including counselling, listening support, youth participation, advocacy, support for care leavers and a LGBTQ+ focused youth group.
Equity, diversity, and inclusion are at the heart of what we value as an organisation. OTR is committed to equal employment opportunities regardless of race, age, religion, sex, sexual orientation, disability or any other status protected by law.
Purpose of the role
Our CAMHS and Hospital Youth Work Lead is an exciting new role, leading two highly impactful OTR services: the RUH Hospital Youth Workers and the BANES Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) Social Prescribing Link Workers. You will lead the delivery and development of both services, including working closely with our partners at the RUH, in CAMHS and in the wider BANES community.
You will also:
· Manage referrals coming in to both the Hospital Youth Workers service and the CAMHS Link Workers service.
· Lead on monitoring the impact of both services and report regularly on this to our funders/partners.
· Engage in direct 1:1 casework
· Ensure strong safeguarding practice across the two teams.
The role combines team leadership, safeguarding oversight, partnership working and frontline youth work. You will help strengthen collaboration between hospital and CAMHS teams, community organisations and local services to ensure CYP are able access appropriate non-clinical support.
At the RUH you will oversee the service’s work with CYP aged 11–25 who present at the Emergency Department with low to moderate mental health needs, or who are admitted to hospital wards with long-term health conditions. This includes managing a limited 1:1 caseload alongside your project management duties. Utilising a person-centred and trauma-informed approach, you will build trusting relationships and support CYP to identify and access the support they need. Support may take place face to face or virtually and will focus on improving access to community-based support networks, with a view to improving wellbeing, increasing resilience and reducing repeat hospital attendance.
At CAMHS you will oversee the service’s work with CYP aged 10-17 who have been accepted into CAMHS with moderate mental health and wellbeing challenges. The Link Workers work with CYP at the start of their CAMHS support, alongside other CAMHS interventions, and those who are nearly ready to be discharged from CAMHS. Within this role, you will hold a small caseload of CYP, working with them for an average of 10-12 weeks. You will deliver social prescribing as the main intervention.
