Senior Mental Health Practitioner Child and Young People Services
We are delighted to be recruiting a Mental Health Professional within the Central Norfolk Youth Service. The youth service currently works with young people aged 14 – 25, however, we are in the process of change and the future youth service will be working with those 18 – 25 and our current CAMHs service will in the future be working with young people up to 18. This role, while initially hosted in the youth service, will focus on young people between the ages of 14 – 18 with the expectation that they will move to the CAMHs service in 2027 as the planned age change takes effect.
We are looking for professionals with either a Nursing, Social Work (with additional Mental Health Training) or Occupational Therapy qualification – who will provide mental health assessment and intervention to the people we support. It is a role that is about building relationships, inspiring others, and working as part of a vibrant and skilled team.
If you’re inspired to offer support through difficult times, and to help young people and families to thrive, then you may be the right person for our team.
We are open to accommodate a variety of working patterns including part-time applicants.
This is currently an exciting time for our team, as we develop our service to meet the needs of our young people in Norfolk.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
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.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
In CFYP we support young people (aged 4-25 years) who are experiencing moderate to severe mental health difficulties. We have enthusiastic and skilled staff who provide the support that is needed - and they are motivated to make a real difference to young people, their families and carers.
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 and would welcome fresh ways of thinking.
In this role, you will be responsible for assessing the mental health of young people, and collaborating with them to plan their recovery. Going forwards this could involve providing interventions to the young people you support, or helping them to find other services inside and outside of our team.
We will want to hear your voice throughout your work with us, so it’s also crucial that you help us with developing our service by contributing to project groups, and by helping other members of the team to grow through supervision and peer-mentoring.
