Job summary

Our CAMHS in NRC is a small and embedded team, working closely across NRC - including a Primary, Secondary and Medical Alternative Provision. We are particularly keen to receive applicants who are experienced in trauma informed practices, and have personal or professional experience of working within a diverse population.

About us

CAMHS in PRU team

The main aim of the team is to provide a child and adolescent mental health service to NRC, over and above the central CAMHS provision to Islington families, in order to improve access to psychological thinking for these families and for the professionals that support them.

The team is embedded across the NRC sites, and offers both direct and indirect CAMHS input, including consultation and support to NRC staff and wider professional network.

Families whose children are referred to NRC often have had previous contact with services and may have disengaged or never engaged before and may have a complex relationship to help. Additional efforts need to be made to reduce barriers to accessing mental health provision for these

The cohort of children at NRC require a flexible and assertive response from CAMHS. Unlike more traditional CAMHS teams, the PRU team need to make many adaptations and spend time engaging the children. This work is not as easily captured in traditional reporting methods, but is essential for ensuring the children and families are being reached by mental health provision.
