Job overview
12 Month Fixed Term Contract
We are seeking an experienced, innovative, and enthusiastic Administrator to join our exciting new Universities of Cambridge and Anglia Ruskin Mental Health Student Service (UCARMHSS) pilot.
This new service offers multiple pathways: psychiatry, psychology, and care coordination, allowing students to access tailored interventions. The goal is to improve access to support for students' mental health, inform about available support, and guide them in managing their mental health.
Key features of the service include:
• A focus on student needs rather than diagnosis, with every referral undergoing thorough triage and, where necessary, formulation assessments.
• Proactive support to help students succeed academically and socially at university.
• Flexible access to services, with face-to-face, telephone, video, and other online options available to meet individual preferences.
• Comprehensive care coordination, encompassing assessment, case management, self-management support, and liaison with university services.
