1 week ago

Aberdeen, Aberdeen City, United Kingdom NHS Grampian Full time £40,000 - £70,000 per year

NHS Grampian Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) is an inclusive, values based multi-disciplinary team including Clinical and Applied Psychology, Psychotherapy, Clinicians, Allied Health Professionals, Nursing, Psychiatry, Admin, Business and Support staff. Our team ethos promotes patient-centred care, efficiency and a culture that values, enables and develops our staff.

We are looking for warm, reflective, innovative individuals who want to make a difference to join us working with children, young people, their families and wider systems. We are seeking individuals that share values that are important to us being respectful, kind, curious, collaborative, efficient, forward thinking and trauma informed and those that embody these values in their day to day work.

NHS Grampian CAMHS provides an across the age range service covering the Grampian region, with geographically based teams (City, Shire and Moray) and a specialist CAMHS Hub. There are excellent opportunities for a wide range of clinical experience within CAMHS (1:1 work, family work, group work, specialist workstreams and consultation), in early intervention, contributing to departmental research / audit, taking part in local and national teaching / training; and being part of a dynamic service undergoing new developments at a challenging time nationally. Our treatment approaches are eclectic with multiple psychological modalities offered by different team members including Schema Focussed work, CBT, DBT, Mentalisation, IPT, Systemic Family Therapy, FBT, ACT, EMDR, psychotherapy, play therapy and pharmacotherapy.

We are part of the North of Scotland regional CAMHS Tier 4 network and alongside out-patient work, we work closely alongside the regional Dudhope Young People's In-patient Unit. As well as having strong regional and national links, CAMHS works collaboratively with our local partner agencies across Grampian to continue to develop and foster local Tier 1 and 2 community mental health and wellbeing supports for children, young people and their families. We have a dedicated Early Intervention team.

Tailored and supportive line management alongside one to one, peer group and multi-disciplinary supervision structures are in place to support professional reflection and growth. There is an established dynamic monthly CPD programme and a local CAMHS training group driving forward staff and team development. We host D.Clin.Psych, CYP MsC and Enhanced Psychological Practitioner trainees.

Previous clinical experience of working with children and adolescents is essential, including some experience of working within CAMHS settings. Experience of working collaboratively with other professional groups and partner agencies is desirable, and published research / audit will be an advantage.
