1 week ago


Bury St, Suffolk, United Kingdom Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Job overview

Is it your passion to work creatively with children, young people and families?

Our Specialist CAMHS teams covering both East and West Suffolk have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Registered Mental Health Nurse to join their existing team.

We currently have vacancy in both East and West locality.

Ideally, you'll have experience and skills in working with children, young people and their families and carers. CAMHS experience would be especially welcome and as would knowledge of attachment, child development and working systemically.

Suffolk CFYP services are in the process of innovative transformation. We are striving to develop our care model to be more aligned with the needs of the local communities. This has created opportunities to not only recognise and consolidate what we are doing well, but also to drive creativity in radically changing service delivery. These are both challenging and exciting times, in which we are redeveloping how we deliver mental health services in Suffolk. As such, this provides many opportunities for successful applicants to play a key role in bringing about positive change and making a difference, not only at an individual, family or team level, but in shaping the future direction of our services.

Our dedicated team is relatively small and is compassionate and responsive. There are processes to review our work, to develop areas of good practice, therapeutic skills and support learning and development of staff.

Main duties of the job

The team has been developing ways of working which help to identify the types of needs that arise for children, young people and their families and channel resources appropriately.

If you'd like the opportunity to work in a fast-paced, intriguing role then we'd love to hear from you

We are confident that being part of our team would enable you to be the Registered Nurse you trained, and would like, to be. This role will offer you the time and facilities to make a difference.

Managing and assessing risk is a large part of our role and as a team we robustly make decisions in complete collaboration with all systems.

As part of this team, responsibilities would include undertaking assessments of children and young people, working collaboratively with families and other supporting agencies to manage needs, as well as holding a caseload and undertaking duty.

You can expect regular clinical and management supervision with an emphasis on reflective practice. We hold a strong belief in team and individual development, you'll be provided with a full induction program and access to extensive training and career development.

We are committed to formulation and ensuring that the pathway of the young person is based on the biosocial model of care and that the voice of the young adult is heard and validated throughout their episode of care.

Working for your organisation

We are seeking a warm, compassionate and needs-led approach with our service users, their families and their network.

Here at NSFT we pride ourselves on being a welcoming, talented, friendly and supportive team who like nothing better than sharing experiences and learning from each other. In addition to ongoing training and development opportunities, we are committed to providing an environment in which you can thrive.

Why work for us? We have challenges as a Trust, but we have ambitious aspirations, are pushing ahead with exciting transformation work and we need dedicated individuals to support us on our journey. We have strong, established professional networks coupled with an exceptional leadership team who will ensure you are truly cared for and cared about.

Why Norfolk and Suffolk? The people here are warm and welcoming, you'll never be far from the beautiful coastline or Broads National Park. We're an hour and a half away from London and have an international airport in Norwich too. Our villages, towns and cities are packed full of history, independent cafes, shops and theatres. We have excellent shopping, eating out, top ranking schooling and affordable house prices too.
