Birmingham's CAMHS Crisis & Home Treatment Team is looking for exceptional professionals who want to be part of a service that is transforming how urgent mental health care is delivered to children, young people, and their families.

This is not a traditional CAMHS post. This is frontline, relationship-driven, high-impact work where your clinical expertise becomes a lifeline for young people in their most vulnerable moments. You'll be joining a dynamic, multidisciplinary team that blends clinical excellence with creativity, compassion, and a commitment to delivering care where it matters most in the home and community.

This role provides rapid, specialist mental health support to children and young people experiencing acute mental health crisis. As a senior clinician within the CAMHS Crisis and Home Treatment Team, you will deliver urgent assessments, formulate risk and safety plans, and provide intensive home-based treatment designed to stabilise young people in their own environment and prevent unnecessary hospital admission. You will work closely with families, schools, social care, paediatrics, and inpatient services to ensure safe, coordinated care and timely discharge back into the community. You will act as a key point of contact during periods of crisis, offering skilled de-escalation, brief therapeutic interventions, and confident clinical decision‑making. As part of a robust multidisciplinary team, you will contribute to case formulation, crisis planning, medication monitoring, and high‑quality documentation. This role requires resilience, autonomy, and a commitment to delivering compassionate, trauma‑informed care to young people and their families during their most vulnerable moments
