Job summary
We are looking to recruit a qualified practitioner in to the Middlesbrough CAMHs Getting More Help Team. The successful candidate will be well-motivated and forward-thinking and become a valued member of our extensive and experienced team - working with young people and their families with mental health challenges.
We are committed to delivering high quality patient centred care and pride ourselves on good team working skills. It is therefore important that the successful candidate is a flexible team player and holds excellent interpersonal and communication skills to meet the needs of the patients, carers, families and the partners with whom we work.
You will work closely with other members of the MDT and provide supervision and support to colleagues.
Candidates must have 18 months post qualifying experience including sign off of appropriate preceptorship or competency framework.
Main duties of the job
The team is multi-disciplinary and provides specialist assessments, treatment and interventions for young people suffering from moderate to severe complex emotional, behavioural and psychological issues resulting in mental health problems.
Ideally the candidates will already be trained in a governed evidence based therapy such as CBT, DBT, or SFP, or be trained as a Non Medical Prescriber (NMP). Experience of working clinically with children and young people with Mental Health and Neurodevelopmental needs is essential.
However the team is currently in a position to be able to help staff develop the knowledge and experience within CAMHS and offer additional training as appropriate to role.
If you enjoy working within an experienced team who are passionate about supporting with children and young people's mental health, enjoy a challenge and have a flexible approach, then we would like to hear from you. You will work as part of a growing team and will need to be confident in your own clinical decision making skills. You will work with a range of professionals from a variety of different agencies including social care, acute care and a range of community and voluntary sector partners.

About the company
National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
