Job Introduction
A new opportunity as a Supervising Practitioner, working with a team running an out of hours support line for parents, in partnership with Surrey Children and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS).
Surrey Positive Parenting Service is a partner of Mindsight Surrey CAHMS. The service currently provides support to parents/carers whose children are aged 6-18 years who are in receipt of, or who are awaiting a diagnosis of, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
The out of hours helpline is a new part of our service which will deliver telephone support to parents and carers of children and young people from Surrey from 5pm – 11pm for 365 days of the year. Referrals/calls will be triaged to the service by CAMHS Duty Team. The service does not have direct contact with the children/young people as direct support is provided by CAMHS.
We are looking for a motivated individual to help mobilise and support the helpline from April 2021.
On application the candidates are required to detail their understanding of ADHD and how it may impact families.
The successful candidate will supervise practitioners and volunteers who will support the helpline.
The successful candidate will also supervise practitioners and volunteers who will deliver ADHD Awareness Training into Schools across Surrey.
The successful candidate will have the ability to work independently but effectively as part of a dynamic team. Whilst experience of managing and/or supervising staff in a previous or current role is desirable, previous experience of supporting team members in a new role is welcomed.
Barnardo's offers a comprehensive training package in respect of managing people. Good communication skills are essential and a sound working knowledge/experience of recording to IT systems is a requirement to role.
The successful applicant will deputise in the absence of the Children's Service Manager and have a strategic overview of this part of the service. Candidates need to be able to detail their experience of working with children and families. In their application candidates are asked to detail good time management skills as well as effective organisational skills.
The successful candidate must be able to drive and have access to their own car as this is essential for service delivery.
