CAMHS Nurse - Band 6
Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS)
Location:
Links Unit, City Hospital, Aberdeen
An exciting opportunity has arisen within CAMHS for an experienced and enthusiastic RMN/RNLD/RNCYP qualified Nurse to join the team.
If you have a genuine interest in CAMHS then this is a great opportunity to join a large dynamic multidisciplinary team. Our CAMHS team is an inclusive, values-based multi-disciplinary team which includes; Nursing, Clinicians, Psychotherapists, Clinical and Applied Psychologists, Play Therapists, Allied Health Professionals, Psychiatrists, Administration, Business, and Support Staff. Our team ethos promotes patient-centred care, efficiency, and a culture that values, enables, and develops staff.
The post holder will have clinical responsibility for their own caseload and will operate within the context of the current CAMHS delivery model, Choice and Partnership Approach (CAPA) which is supporting the service to focus on improving access to psychological therapies for children and young people. The vacancies cover our core CAMHS Service along with our Enhanced Care Team and Intellectual Disabilities Team.
The successful candidate will need to be able to show an aptitude for working with children and young people, families, colleagues, and other stakeholders. Also, evidence of ongoing professional development and the ability to be flexible and adaptable to the changing needs of the service.
CAMHS experience would be valuable but not essential as a full training and supervision package is offered to build individuals' confidence and capabilities. This includes Essential CAMHS (a mix of online and local face-to-face training modules) and the NES one-year CAMHS Development Programme (a mix of training modules, online, and face-to-face in Edinburgh). Tailored supportive line management alongside one-to-one and multi-disciplinary supervision structures are also in place to support professional development, reflection, and growth.
