Band 8a Children in Care Highly Specialist Mental Health Clinician
Band 8a
Trosolwg o'r swydd
Two exciting opportunities have arisen for Highly Specialist Mental Health Clinicians in the Children in Care Specialist CAMHS Service in AWP, based in South Gloucestershire (Thinking Aloud) and Bristol (Thinking Allowed); two well established services with a reputation for working with children and young people who have experienced multiple adversities. The service comprises small supportive, energetic and creative teams and post-holders will provide clinically effective interventions for the adult network and young people. These posts will work closely with the Clinical Lead for Children in Care in AWP and the AWP Specialist Services Manager and work alongside AWP’s core CAMHS Services and also in partnership with Social Care and Education.
The post holders are senior clinicians for the Children in Care CAMHS specialist services within Bristol and South Gloucestershire and are expected to be a significant clinical resource across the Trust.
Both posts are for 3 days a week. If you are passionate about supporting young people with experiences of developmental trauma and believe in the difference that can be made by supporting a multi-disciplinary system to understand and recognise the impact of trauma, we would love to hear from you.
