As a Clinical Social Worker within the Tier 3 CAMHS Adolescent Team
You will join a collaborative multi-disciplinary team where your skills, insight, and professional voice are truly valued. This role offers the chance to make a significant difference through direct clinical work, providing assessments and interventions, while also contributing to a culture of shared learning by offering supervision, consultation, and training to colleagues and partners across agencies.
In CAMHS, Social Workers play a vital role in shaping meaningful, person-centred support for children, adolescents, and families.

In this role
You will play a central part in supporting children and young people to access timely, effective mental health care and to navigate services confidently and smoothly.

You will contribute to the development, implementation, and review of risk management and safety plans to support young people with complex mental health needs.
