Locality Teams in CAMHS

The aim of our new CAMHS is to respond earlier to children and young people’s needs in order to help prevent, reduce, or delay the need for more specialist interventions. This transformation of children and young people’s mental health services has a clinical focus, integrated with local authorities to deliver a long-term collaborative approach to planning and delivering services. The service is driven by the principles underpinning the national CYP-IAPT programme (Children and Young People’s Improving Access to Psychological Therapies); evidence-based interventions, routine measurement of outcomes, access to high-quality training and supervision for professionals, and co-production with children and young people.

Applications for this role should be written by the applicant. If artificial intelligence (AI) programs are used, then the application may be rejected due to this document being an important part of the assessment process. This does not prevent applicants from seeking appropriate support with applications should they need to for the purposes of any declared disability.

If you are an overseas qualified nurse and want to start your journey to becoming a UK-based registered nurse with the NMC, you can check whether you are eligible to be supported through our Capital Nurse consortium. Please visit; https://www.capitalnurselondon.co.uk/how-to-apply/. While NELFT is happy to welcome overseas nurses, we are unable to consider your application directly. You should submit your interest and apply through the Capital Nurse London group.

Although we are a registered sponsor organization, we are unable to offer sponsorship for some job roles, and this will be identified through filtering questions at the start of any job application on the Trac recruitment system.
