About the Role

You’ll be the bridge between families and the CYPMHS Home Treatment Team, making sure their voices shape the care provided. You’ll provide one-to-one and group support, help families navigate services, and connect them to local resources. It’s about listening with empathy, advocating for their needs, and building trust. Every day will be different – sometimes supporting siblings through a tough time, other days helping a parent find practical tools to manage at home.

Your work will be crucial to keeping young people safe and supported in their own environments, avoiding unnecessary hospital admissions. You’ll be part of a skilled, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive team that truly values family perspectives.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide one-to-one support to families, helping them feel heard and understood
• Facilitate group sessions where families can share experiences and solutions
• Advocate for family perspectives in care planning and reviews
• Support siblings and wider family networks to understand and manage the situation
• Maintain clear, accurate records to inform effective care
• Connect families with community services that make a tangible difference
