Taunton, United Kingdom Somerset NHS Foundation Trust Full time

**If you're a **Mental Health Nurse, Social Worker, or Occupational Therapist looking for a varied role in a team which bridges the gap between physical and mental health, this could be your next role.**

The team offers high quality holistic assessments to young people under the age of 18 who present in the Acute General Hospital as a result of mental health issues, associated risk taking behaviours, physical illness and distress. We also offer a 7-day follow up and liaison with other services as identified as part of the assessment, to check how the young person is doing.

**You'll work collaboratively with colleagues in other teams, such as the **Specialist Community CAMHS service, Children's Social Care and Paediatrics, **to offer a responsive service that places the young persons at the centre of all we do.**

You should be a team player with a willingness to teach and educate acute colleagues, improve mental health awareness, as well as a commitment to help develop the service further to achieve the best possible outcomes for young people within the acute hospital setting.

In return, we can offer you the opportunity to be part of a dynamic service, bespoke CAMHS Liaison Training and a high level of Clinical Supervision and support.

The role includes working on a 7-day rota shift pattern and there is potential for flexibility where possible.

**If you would be interested in being part of an evolving team with an aim to establish parity across our services, please do get in touch
