Hours:

Full time

Part time

37.5 hours per week (This is a full-time post however part time will be considered.)

Do you have a passion for supporting children and young people in managing the emotional and mental health challenges they face in today’s world? Have you ever wished you could make a difference early in a child or young person’s life to enable them to thrive and grow? An exciting opportunity has arisen within Specialist Child & Adolescent Mental Health Service (S-CAMHS) to join an expanding and dynamic multidisciplinary mental health service.

Main duties of the job

The post holder will work alongside and be supervised and supported by their Primary Mental Health Practitioner colleagues to deliver interventions to children and young people as part of the Welsh Government Mental Health Measures 2010. This will involve both providing direct support as well as linking children and young people in to other sources of support and beneficial activities in the community in order to benefit their emotional and mental health. The post holder will be expected to work flexibly as part of a team to ensure excellent delivery of service provision, including working weekends where required to ensure accessibility and continuity of service delivery.

This is an exciting opportunity for motivated workers with relevant experience to develop their experience and clinical skills in child and adolescent mental health. Experience in S-CAMH services is not a requirement, and we would encourage interest from a range of candidates with relevant experience.

Excellent opportunities will be available for training and professional development and the post holder will receive managerial and clinical supervision.

The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; English and/or Welsh speakers are equally welcome to apply.
