You will be required to support our qualified staff when completing risk assessments and Safety Plans that can support children and young people in the community.

The home treatment model will focus on skill-based sessions, teaching children and young people coping strategies to support them in crisis situations, whilst also assessing any ongoing risk and offering creative solutions to ongoing difficulties.
