Camhs Duty Practitioner

2 weeks ago


Weymouth, Dorset, United Kingdom Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Do you want to be part of an innovative and motivated team? We have a great opportunity here within the Weymouth & Portland and West CAMHS teams for an experienced Mental Health Practitioner to join as a CAMHS Duty Practitioner.


As a CAMHS Duty Practitioner, your role is to be responsive to the needs of Young People and their families when their Care Coordinators are not available.

This position will involve undertaking some urgent assessments which will include safety planning. In addition to this the duty practitioner will offer advice and guidance to partner agencies as needed.

You will work closely with the wider team providing excellent quality of care, ensuring high standards of clinical practice when working with all young people and their families/carers.

We are proud to be part of the wider CAMHS service in Dorset and all it has achieved in recent years.

The CAMHS Duty Practitioner role is a full time post working across both West and Weymouth & Portland CAMHS.

You will need to have a valid driving licence and use of a car, opportunities for part time and flexible working are available as long as the service needs are met.


You will undertake mental health assessments in a variety of settings including home, clinic, schools and acute settings and ensure appropriate treatment plans are initiated, with the support of the wider multi-disciplinary team.

You will be expected to maintain confidentiality on all matters relating to the private affairs and treatment of clients, except in cases where the child's safety and well being would necessitate the sharing of information.


We have been fast tracked by NHSE to deliver New Care Models providing a closer to home crisis home treatment service.

We are also part of the national trailblazer to deliver Mental Health Support Teams in schools across 3 pilot sites in Dorset.

In addition, NHSE have commissioned Dorset Healthcare to build a new state of the art 8 bed PICU.

As part of the many exciting developments within CAMHS, Dorset HealthCare has set up a brand new 'Front Door' service to the current Core CAMHS teams, focusing on the assessment of young people and providing brief clinical intervention.


At Dorset HealthCare we're on a mission to empower people to make the most of their lives through our outstanding, joined-up healthcare services.

We're a dynamic, forward-looking Trust, running 12 community hospitals, specialist inpatient facilities and a wide range of integrated community and mental health services for a population of almost 800,000 people.

We do things differently here - it's one of the reasons the CQC rated us 'outstanding' in 2019.

It's also why 95% of patients across our services say they have a good or very good experience of our services and 89% of staff feel they can really make a difference.

Whether you're looking to work with us in one of our bustling market towns, vibrant urban locations, thriving seaside spots, or among the rolling hills of Dorset, there are lots of ways you can make a difference in our communities.


Our 7,000-strong workforce is at the heart of what we do and our success is a testament to our brilliant people.

We're all about building a workplace for the future, we believe in equal opportunities and we celebrate diversity.

We're an inclusive workplace, where everyone is welcome, everyone can be authentic, and we are all encouraged to be the best version of ourselves.


Working with us you'll be part of a strong team, challenge yourself, build a career, and teach us what we don't know.

And you'll be working towards our vision to be better every day through excellence, compassion and expertise in all we do.
