We are delighted to be recruiting a Mental Health Professional to join the community-based Youth Team in Kings Lynn, West Norfolk on a fixed term 12-month contract to cover maternity leave.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of an innovative service, which has an incredibly skilled multi-disciplinary group of professionals, offering NICE concordant treatment to the young people of West Norfolk. We pride ourselves on building relationships, inspiring others, and working as part of a vibrant and skilled team to support recovery for those who access our service.

We are looking for a professional with either a Nursing, Social Work or Occupational Therapy qualification - who will provide mental health assessments and interventions to the people we support. We are happy to consider flexible working arrangements for this post which can be discussed post interview.

If you have an interest in specialist mental health services and a desire to help young people and families to thrive, then you may be just the right person for our team.

In our service we support young people aged between 14-25 who present with moderate to severe mental health issues.

Whilst experience of working with children and young people would make you perfectly suited to this role, we are really open to welcoming people from clinical backgrounds who have experience in other areas of mental health. We understand that you will be able to bring with you a wealth of skills and experience to the team and would welcome fresh ways of thinking.

In this role you will be responsible for triaging and assessing the mental health needs of young people and collaborating and with them to plan their recovery delivering evidenced based interventions.

Staff well-being is an integral part of our service and there are lots of opportunities for CPD development, specialist training and supervision and support from experienced colleagues.

Within the West Youth team, you will find 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.

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.

We are looking for people to join us with enthusiasm, optimism, fresh ideas, and energy.
