Description

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a competent and enthusiastic registered practitioner to provide a highly specialist service for children and young people in Bexley CAMHS.

You will work with children and young people up to 18 years and their families/carers, with significant and enduring mental health difficulties.

This is a new post that has been developed to improve the career pathway for practitioners in Bexley CAMHS and there are great opportunities for career development in the service.

The post holder will manage a complex caseload, working as care coordinator within a multi-disciplinary team in close partnership with partner agencies working with children and young people in Bexley.

You will also provide specialist advice and support to professional colleagues both internal and external to the Trust.

It would be an advantage to have experience working with young people, although part of the induction will be to assist you to develop the skills to work with children and young people with mental health difficulties.

It is important that you can show your interest and willingness to learn how to work with children with significant mental health difficulties.

You will need to have excellent therapeutic skills and be responsive and flexible in your approach to working with children and young people within the CAMH service.
