Emotional Health and Resilience Nurse

The Emotional Health and Resilience Nurse will be responsible for providing specialist intervention to any young person aged 5-19 years who has been identified as having an emotional health and wellbeing difficulty. We have a Locality Manager who`s focus is Emotional Health and Resilience (EHR) and a specialist public health nurse for EHR. The Emotional Health and Resilience Nurse will be delivering 1:1 targeted intervention within either a home or alternate setting. This intervention will be time limited and at the end of the intervention it may be necessary for the child/young person to be referred on to Specialist Services for support or back to the Universal practitioner (Public Health Nurse).

The Emotional Health and Resilience Nurse will be supporting schools to implement strategies and support within group sessions around issues such as self-harm, anxiety, low mood, body image, regulating emotions, bullying (list not exhaustive).

It may be necessary for some interventions to be delivered in partnership with other teams/agencies. This is to prevent duplication, ensure resources are utilised appropriately, and reduce the number of professionals working with the child/family to reduce the likelihood of the child having to repeat their story over and over again. It will also ensure that the child receives an intervention from the most appropriate person rather than professionals working in isolation.
