Join us in transforming Child and Adolescent Mental Health services across Cornwall.
We appreciate we are striving for cutting edge assessment and treatment within a highly emotive and distressing environment. We are therefore looking for individuals that are good under pressure, place high worth in team-based working, and have an unrelenting passion and dedication for working with young people and their families.
It is our intention to embed reflective practice, continual learning, and clinical supervision into the essence of the service. We hope to offer a bespoke and rolling training package to all staff and would like to invest in our team member's sense of mastery. We assure to be mindful of fostering career progression opportunities moving forward. We are especially interested in utilising new employees' specialist expertise and interests.
We encourage trainees and newly qualified candidates to apply for this role. This is a fixed term contract and ideally suited to newly qualified IAPT CYP-practitioners working towards BABCP accreditation.
This is a community-based role that requires frequent travel to various locations throughout the county, including areas that may not be accessible by public transportation. Successful candidates will need to demonstrate how they will manage these travel requirements.
Main duties of the job
As a CAMHS IAPT therapist / Practitioner you will be responsible for providing full assessments, formulation, and evidence-based interventions to children, young people, and their families, who are experiencing mental health difficulties.
You will be responsible for maintaining an individual caseload, from referral to discharge, conducting routine and high priority assessments and interventions as appropriate and exercising autonomy.
You will be liaising and providing advice, information, and consultation to colleagues and other agencies as well as undertaking service governance activity, including research and audit as appropriate.
Successful candidates will provide regular and ongoing consultation, joint work, training, and advice to other professionals in relation to child and adolescent mental health to ensure the best outcomes for children and young people.
About us
We're an NHS community and mental health provider Trust based in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We deliver community and hospital-based care to improve people's physical and mental health. We also provide specialist support to people with dementia or a learning disability.
We are a people organisation and people matter to us. As part of the team, you'll help support the health and wellbeing of the people who live and visit this beautiful part of the UK.
Over 4,000 people make up the Trust. This includes doctors, nurses, therapists, plus admin and support staff.
We work in people's homes, in community clinics and bases. Some staff work from one of our 13 community hospitals. Our aspiration is to have great people, provide great care, be a great place to work and a great partner.
Approximately 568,000 people live here. A third of people who live in Cornwall are supported by acute hospital services in Devon. As a result, we also work closely with our partners in Devon. In the summer, and during other holidays, lots of people choose to visit the area. This increases the numbers of people who use our services.
