Southwark Child and Adolescent Service (CAMHS) Job Opportunity
Southwark Child and Adolescent Service (CAMHS) is seeking to recruit an innovative CAMHS practitioner with developed clinical skills to work in its multi-disciplinary Adolescent Team (MDT).
About the Role
Our dynamic and supportive MDT consists of psychiatry, clinical psychology, nursing, therapist, and social work professionals.
The team provides assessment and evidence-based therapies to young people aged 12 to 18 with complex mental health difficulties including depression, emerging psychosis, OCD, PTSD, and social anxiety.
The team has close links with Youth Offending Services, an assertive outreach team, and National and Specialist Services.
The team also works in close partnership with social care, education, and local third sector services and is committed to providing high-quality, collaborative evidence-based interventions.
A well-developed culture of innovation exists within CAMHS and SLaM, and team members are involved in both research and service development projects.
SLaM has an excellent support structure for clinicians interested in conducting research and quality improvement initiatives.
