Job overview:

This is a fixed term post, 12 months for maternity cover supporting locality CAMHS in the West of Cornwall.
It's an exciting time to join our Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services in Cornwall.

Where your clinical expertise, training and high level of specialist experience are recognised with a genuine commitment to your career development and continued learning.
