Job description

Gloucestershire Core CAMHS is seeking to recruit an enthusiastic, skilled, and supportive individual to provide additional team manager capacity to our core CAMHS teams.

Core CAMHS provides a range of mental health services to children and young people (0 to 18) in Gloucestershire. The service is delivered by a strong multidisciplinary team of professionals offering assessment and intervention, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, emotional coping skills, and Family Therapy.

We are looking for someone who can nurture and develop our teams as we continue to offer high standards of assessment and treatment. We have made significant progress in reducing waiting times and believe this is an exciting time to join us and help develop our service.

As a Team Manager, you should have the clinical skills and knowledge to conduct CAMHS assessments and clinical risk assessments when required.
