Description

This is an opportunity to join an integrated and well established team of Mental Health Workers within Child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) covering throughout Dumfries and Galloway.

The post holder will have responsibility for assessment and providing interventions/treatment to children and young people within a CAMHS community setting.

The post holder will provide a service for children and young people who are experiencing moderate to severe mental health problems.

You will be expected to carry out mental health assessments and provide treatment in collaboration with patients, families/carers and other service providers.

A holistic, person centred, systemic approach is necessary, which involves offering interventions which take account of the young person and significant others, such as family members, other service providers and education.

In addition to your skills and knowledge, you should have a real passion to make a difference to young people's mental health, and motivation to contribute to and support the ongoing development of the team, service, and organisation.

Dumfries and Galloway is a stunning part of Scotland to live and work in.

It can be as remote or as busy as you want it to be and there are road and rail routes to the bigger cities on both sides of the border.

Consideration would be given to part time working hours.

Under Equality Legislation we can only state that a driving licence is required if a post is a 'driving job - eg Driver.

Following discussions, we can now routinely use the following text in adverts where a post holder would be expected to drive.

However, if you have a disability which precludes you from holding a driving licence, consideration will be given if alternative transport can be arranged._

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR CANDIDATES:

_NHS Scotland is reducing their full-time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week for __NHS Agenda for Change workers in Scotland _
_from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period, for which you would be paid, until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week._
