Closer to home

Closer2Home is a new and innovative intensive home treatment service that will provide support at home to children and young people with acute mental health problems.

The Closer2Home service will operate across Hampshire, Dorset and the Isle of Wight, and be delivered by four NHS Trusts who will each provide a Closer2Home team for their local area. Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust will act as the lead provider for the service and combined, these five Trusts will form the Wessex and Dorset Provider Collaborative.

The Closer2Home teams will work together to deliver a specialist service to help young people remain at home who otherwise would have been admitted to an inpatient hospital.

The innovative service will operate 365 days a year from 8am-8pm. The team will include a range of clinical and non-clinical staff and we are now looking for vibrant and enthusiastic people to join us. For more information please visit: Closer2Home | Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.
