Our CAMHS team is a diverse, values-driven multi-disciplinary group that includes Clinical and Applied Psychology, Psychotherapy, Clinicians, Allied Health Professionals, Nursing, Psychiatry, and Administrative staff. We foster a culture that prioritizes patient-centered care, operational efficiency, and staff development.

About the Role

We are in search of compassionate, reflective, and innovative individuals who aspire to make a meaningful impact while working with children, adolescents, their families, and broader systems. Ideal candidates will resonate with our core values: respect, kindness, curiosity, collaboration, efficiency, forward-thinking, and trauma-informed care, embodying these principles in their daily practice.

Service Overview

NHS Grampian CAMHS offers a comprehensive service across the Grampian region, organized into geographically based teams and a specialized CAMHS Hub. This role presents excellent opportunities for diverse clinical experiences, including individual therapy, family interventions, group therapy, specialized workstreams, and consultation. You will be involved in early intervention initiatives, departmental research, and local and national training programs, contributing to a dynamic service that is adapting to national challenges.

Clinical Approaches

Our treatment modalities are eclectic, incorporating various psychological techniques provided by our skilled team members. These include Schema-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mentalization-Based Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), Systemic Family Therapy, Family-Based Treatment (FBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), psychotherapy, play therapy, and pharmacotherapy.

Collaboration and Support

As part of the North of Scotland regional CAMHS Tier 4 network, we collaborate closely with local inpatient units and partner agencies to enhance community mental health and well-being supports for children and their families. Our dedicated Early Intervention team plays a crucial role in this effort.

We provide tailored and supportive line management, alongside individual, peer group, and multi-disciplinary supervision structures to facilitate professional reflection and growth. Our established monthly Continuing Professional Development (CPD) program and local CAMHS training group are designed to advance staff and team development.

Qualifications and Experience

Applicants should possess prior clinical experience working with children and adolescents, particularly within CAMHS settings. Experience in collaborative work with other professionals and partner organizations is desirable, and involvement in published research or audits will be advantageous. We welcome applications from those nearing qualification and those interested in remote working opportunities.
