Extended Hope is a support service for young people in mental health crisis in Surrey. It is based in a small children’s home in Redhill but covers the entire County. This home provides a short-break service for up to two children who experience social, emotional and mental health difficulties. It is operated by Surrey County Council and the local NHS trust. Other interventions provided include after hours contact by arrangement for young people and families and some in-reach to acute hospitals when there are admissions for mental health concerns.
Main duties include the assessment of, and support for, children in mental health crisis and assisting local care networks to effectively plan and execute intervention plans. Other focus areas are concentrated on being an impactful member of the team (along with Residential Support Workers) providing direct care for young people who are staying in the house during respite breaks.
