Senior Community Mental Health Nurse
We are seeking to recruit a Senior Community Mental Health Nurse within our Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service in West CAMHS based in King's Lynn. The role is for a fixed period of 9 months, 37.5 hours per week to cover maternity leave.
We work with children, young people (0-14 years) and their families, with the principal objectives of providing consultation, training, mental health assessment, and short-term therapeutic interventions.
It is an exciting time to join our CAMHS teams as we review our ways of working, to ensure our services are needs led, outcome informed, and accessible for the young people within Norfolk and Waveney. We expect opportunities to be involved in providing specialist mental health care in a creative and innovative way, informed by overarching THRIVE principles.
While experience working with children and young people would make you perfectly suited to this role, we are really open to welcoming people from clinical backgrounds who have experience in other areas of mental health. We understand that you will be able to bring with you a wealth of skills and experience to the team.
