Senior CAMHS Practitioner
We are looking for an experienced, skilled, and confident Senior CAMHS Practitioner to join our ever-developing team. The successful applicant will be a caring and flexible practitioner who embraces change and thrives in a creative atmosphere.
The service works in collaboration with the South London Partnership (SLP) Crisis service, which is a collaboration between Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust, South London & Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, and South West London and St George’s Mental Health NHS Trust.
About the Role
The CAMHS Response Team, a nurse-led community outreach team, aims to provide assessments for young people with mental health needs presenting with, or at risk of, going into crisis. This includes those presenting at A&E departments, on paediatric wards, or seen by Community CAMHS services.
We are currently developing a 24-hour provision within the A&E environment in which you will have a key role. We also aim to provide a range of short-term community-based assessment and treatment options for approximately 2 weeks for this group of young people and provide advice and support to parents/carers, in partnership with various internal and external agencies.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
