CAMHS Specialist Community AdvisorinChesterfieldinChesterfieldPUBLISHED THU 31 OCT 2024

Are you a committed and enthusiastic clinician, and would you like to work in a well led and respected multi-disciplinary CAMH service? We have a vacancy in our CAMHS Specialist Community Advisor Team and you could be just who we are looking for!

The role of the CAMHS Specialist Community Advisor is to provide a link between universal first contact services for children and families, such as Schools, Children's Services, Primary care, voluntary sector and Specialist CAMHS.

You will be a Registered Nurse, Social Worker or equivalent with experience of working in a role within or closely related to CAMHS. You will be expected to work independently to develop working relationships with a range of professionals and partner agencies, within an assigned geographical area and act as a representative of the wider CAMHS service.

As a member of the CAMHS service, you will be required to work and be based between CAMHS and various community locations ; a car driver with a full current licence & own transport is therefore essential.

The main aim of the service is to provide consultations to professionals about the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people; to help identify children and who need help at the earliest possible point; provide specialist advice; and if necessary help facilitate access to the most appropriate source of support.

Delivering training workshops to professionals and parents is part of the role and so experience in this area would be desirable.
