This work is a chance to make a difference to a child's lifelong emotional wellbeing and developing mental health and the team are highly committed to their role and supportive to each other.


The team deliver a service, predominantly within family homes, across the county of Gloucestershire and work closely with a variety of multi agency professionals as well as with multi disciplinary teams within the wider Gloucestershire's CAMHS.

The post is 0.8 WTE and will require flexible working.

It is a community-based post and therefore a valid UK driving licence plus the use of own transport for business purposes is essential.

At Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust, we are supportive of the people we care for in the community and aim to provide a fully responsive service to everyone who needs it.

This is the same approach we take for our employees.

We look to value the skills and experiences of those we work with, whether they are service users, carers, families or those looking to work with us.

Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust is part of the NHS. We treat NHS patients according to NHS principles and standards.

The difference is the Trust is accountable to local people, rather than to Government, and so we are able to work closely with our community to develop services in the way that best suits the needs of local people.


Our Staff Survey results showed people at our Trust feel they are engaged, part of a team and work for a compassionate and inclusive organisation.


Our overall scores were better than average in eight of nine themes and level in one - the best overall results for a community, mental health and learning disabilities Trust in the south west and first equal amongst all sector NHS providers within the region too.

The qualification, training & experience requirements for the role are underlined in the Job Description/Person Specification.
