Job Summary
Clinical Nurse Specialist - Sheffield Children's NHS Foundation Trust CAMHS
We are looking for a compassionate and experienced Clinical Nurse Specialist to join our Multi-Agency Psychological Support (MAPS) team for Children Looked After in Sheffield.

Offer a range of therapeutic interventions, ensuring holistic care in partnership with CAMHS, education, and social care teams.
Lead junior Nursing/Mental Health Practitioner colleagues.
Provide expert clinical advice, with an understanding of therapeutic interventions and clinical management strategies.
Ensure clinical governance principles are followed to maintain and improve quality care.
Promote best practices in clinical risk management, health, safety, and workplace security.
