Do you have a passion for early intervention?
Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin CAMHS Mental Health Support Team is currently recruiting Senior Mental Health Support Team Practitioners to join our school-based teams.
We are seeking fully qualified and registered EMHPs or CWPs, or professionals with a core qualification (such as Social Work, Occupational Therapy, or Mental Health Nursing), who have substantial post-qualification or post-registration experience.
We are looking for Senior Practitioners who are effective clinicians and confident team leaders, able to contribute to both operational and clinical development. You will play a key role in strengthening service delivery and supporting our ongoing growth.
