Job description

Do you want to be part of a rapidly developing service committed to improving the lives of Children, Young People and their families?

In a period of exciting development, South Cumbria CYPMH are currently looking to recruit a full time Band 6 Senior CYPMH Practitioner.

We are looking for a registered Mental Health Nurse, Social Worker or Occupational Therapist with previous post registration experience to join our multidisciplinary team. You will be part of an established CYPMH, working with children, young people (up to the age of 18) and their families; experience working with children and young people would be an advantage.

We are a busy, friendly service providing a range of treatment approaches to children and young people including CBT, EMDR and Decider Skills Workshops. We also work in close collaboration with partner agencies. We are committed to ongoing continuous professional development of our staff and, as a member of our team, you will have the opportunity to be involved in various training initiatives.

The hours of work are 9am-5pm Monday to Friday. You must be passionate about working with children and young people with a wide range of moderate to severe mental health difficulties.

LSCFT values diversity and inclusion, recognising that talent from varied backgrounds creates a flexible, creative, and effective workforce. We actively challenge discrimination and welcome applications from all, regardless of age, disability (including those with experience of accessing or caring for someone who has accessed mental health or learning disability services), ethnicity, gender, religion, belief, or sexual orientation.

Our aim is to reflect the communities we serve, so we particularly encourage applications from under‑represented groups. If you’d like to discuss your application, please ask.

We also welcome individuals with lived experience relevant to the role or service area, as your insight brings authenticity to our services.

LSCFT supports flexible working; we believe that a positive work/life balance benefits NHS employees through improved health and wellbeing. We would consider working patterns such as term time, part time, compressed hours and flexi‑time.
