Overview
Are you an experienced CAMHS clinician looking for a new challenge and opportunity to join a service at a time of exciting change? Can you work with children, young people, their families and carers, providing evidence-based intervention in an intensive outreach team? We are looking for a Band 6 CAMHS clinician to work in the CAMHS Intensive Outreach team. We want a suitable candidate who can bring skills, experience and enthusiasm to meet the needs of children/young people with complex social, emotional, behavioural, neurodevelopmental and mental health needs. This post is open to mental health nurses, social workers, or other appropriate trained clinicians. You must be on a professional register and be up to date.
Responsibilities
- Use extensive skills and experience as a mental health practitioner to deliver high quality care, developing and sustaining relationships across agencies and working as a core member of a multi‑disciplinary team; use both evidence‑based practice and routine outcome measures, and a strength‑based approach to work collaboratively with service users in line with CYP‑IAPT key principles.
- Hold a small caseload of young people who meet the threshold for Intensive Outreach support – typically those at risk of Tier 4 admission, presenting with complex behaviours, or struggling to engage with local CAMHS services.
- Work across all localities (North Bristol, East & Central Bristol, South Bristol, South Gloucestershire, North Somerset) and build strong working relationships with these services while covering a 7‑day period with shifts of 9‑5, 12‑8 and weekends.
- Work in conjunction with the multidisciplinary team to identify care and treatment options that enable service users to remain within their existing support/care pathways, maintain community tenure, and signpost to other services to meet their needs.
- Maintain close working relationships with Community and specialist CAMHS services, Adult Community Mental Health Teams, and Acute Hospital Services; receive day‑to‑day leadership on service delivery and development from the Team Manager, along with senior clinicians, for caseload and management supervision.
Qualifications
- Band 6 CAMHS clinician with experience in intensive outreach or related services.
- Qualified as a mental health nurse, social worker, or other appropriately trained clinician.
- Registered on the relevant professional register and up to date with regulatory requirements.
- Strong understanding of evidence‑based therapeutic treatments and approaches.
