About the Role
"Over the past 15 months I have worked with some of the most amazing young people. This has given me an enormous sense of achievement as a nurse.

About the Opportunity
Have you ever thought about working in CAMHS but are unsure if you have the right skills? If you are a qualified healthcare professional, social worker or accredited therapist then we want to hear from you.
We believe in investing in our staff, and alongside opportunities to train at a postgraduate level via the young person’s IAPT scheme, we have a regular programme of on the job training and a comprehensive supervision offer that will help you to develop in your role. We hope to give you the opportunity to build on your existing skills, to be yourself, and to thrive in a forward-thinking and dynamic CAMHS Team.
It is an exciting time for the service as we grow and expand our offer to the young people and families of North Derbyshire. We are lucky enough to have a number of CAMHS services based in the same building, and as a core CAMHS worker you will liaise closely with them all. We pride ourselves on our multi-disciplinary approach, and you will become a key member of our specialist team. You will be working in a supportive and friendly environment with professionals from a variety of clinical backgrounds. You will receive regular clinical supervision, as well the chance to consult with clinicians from our various pathways in order to help us deliver the best service we can.
