Job overview

Would you like to work in an innovative CAMHS Tier 4 service? 

Are you interested in delivering intensive community support to young people and their families, as an alternative to hospital admission?

Are you keen to work with highly motivated and passionate colleagues?

The Learning Disability and Autism (LDA) Hospital at Home service is an innovative new service being developed under the Thames Valley Provider Collaborative. The Hospital at Home team will focus on young people with moderate to severe learning disabilities AND/OR a severe degree of functional impairment associated with an autism diagnosis who are at risk of home or placement breakdown and who could meet the threshold for inpatient care.

In some cases, the team will help prevent unnecessary admissions and in others, young people will be stepped down from tier 4 care through the LDA Hospital at Home team, shortening their inpatient admission. LDA Hospital at Home maximizes the use of new technology, provides care close to home, reduces admission, length of stay, waiting times and provides earlier discharge from inpatient care.
