THIS POST IS FIXED TERM/SECONDMENT UNTIL 30/09/2025 TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE SERVICE.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN APPLYING FOR THE SECONDMENT POSITION, YOU MUST OBTAIN PERMISSION FROM YOUR CURRENTLINE MANAGER PRIOR TO APPLYING FOR THIS POST.
Do you have a passion for supporting children and young people in managing the emotional and mental health challenges they face in today's world?

An exciting opportunity has arisen within Specialist Child & Adolescent Mental Health Service (S-CAMHS) to join an expanding and dynamic multidisciplinary mental health service.
Main duties of the job
The post holder will work alongside and be supervised and supported by their Primary Mental Health Practitioner colleagues to deliver interventions to children and young people as part of the Welsh Government Mental Health Measures 2010.
