This is an exciting time to join a rapidly growing and dynamic new workforce in West London NHS Trust CAMHS.

If you are interested in partnership working (notably with schools) and you want to help shape new models of evidence-based support to promote the emotional wellbeing of children and young people, this job could be for you.

Hounslow was one of the initial trailblazer sites which began setting up mental health support teams in January 2019. There are now three teams (West, Central, and East) each working with schools in the corresponding Hounslow early help areas. Hundreds of children and young people have accessed guided self
- help and group work support, with very encouraging feedback and clinical outcomes. The Tier 2 services have a good interface with Tier 3 CAMHS and partner organisations, and friendly, busy, borough-located services that operate as part of a three-borough CAMH service within West London NHS.

We’re rated good overall by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

Together, we’re committed to promoting hope and wellbeing, working with patients, service users, carers, families and partners across the communities we serve.

We are keen to ensure that our workforce reflects the community it serves, particularly in terms of ethnicity, gender, disability, LGBTQ+ and experience of mental illness.

The regulations mandating vaccination for in-scope roles in the NHS have now been removed.
