At the Sydney Children's Hospitals Network, every role helps children and young people live their healthiest lives.

As the largest paediatric health service in Australia, we care for thousands of children each year, in hospital and at home. Our people are united by compassion, collaboration and excellence in care.

What you'll be doing
The Safeguards Team is a new dedicated Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service designed to provide innovative and best practice care to children and adolescents aged 0-17 years experiencing acute mental health distress. The team is community based and provides rapid, mobile and flexible care to resolve mental health crisis, including assertive outreach, care coordination and time-limited therapeutic interventions. The Safeguards Team operates 7 days/week with extended hours on weekdays, and will respond to young people in their schools, homes and communities and in hospital-based settings (EDs/Wards), through face to face, phone and telehealth appointments.

The Safeguards Team is multidisciplinary and includes psychiatry, nursing and allied health professionals with the clinical expertise to deliver crisis assessment, specialist clinical care and short-term therapeutic interventions for children and adolescents who present in crisis and their families/carers.

Within a stepped care approach, the Safeguards Teams provide a rapid response service component on the spectrum of care supporting the work of community-based child and adolescent mental health services and the tertiary acute child and adolescent inpatient units. Safeguards services are provided in partnership and are complementary to existing mental health services.

While Safeguards Teams will work with children and adolescents in acute crisis, they are rapid response teams, not acute care or crisis teams. Safeguards Teams do not provide urgent community-based care for people with a mental illness in crisis. Safeguards is an enhancement and should complement existing services, not replace them.

The Safeguards Clinician will plan, coordinate, and implement in-depth levels of clinical expertise and extensive specialised knowledge within allied health or nursing to provide evidence based, trauma informed and developmentally appropriate assessment and treatment to children and adolescents (0 to 17 years) in acute mental health distress, and their families.

Additional Benefits (for eligible employees): Flexible work opportunities, Salary packaging and meal entertainment benefits, accrued days off (ADOs), fitness passport, employee assistance program (EAP)

Child Safe Standards:
SCHN is committed to maintaining a child-safe environment that respects and upholds the rights of children and young people, in line with NSW Health’s commitment to the Child Safe Standards. We aim to ensure that children and young people feel safe, supported, and included in their care. All current and prospective staff are expected to prioritise the safety, welfare, and well-being of children and young people, actively working to protect them from harm and abuse.

Additional Information:
