Your Role:
As a vital member of our team, you will play a key role in the assessment, treatment planning, and care of young people facing moderate to severe psychiatric and neurodevelopmental challenges. Your compassionate approach will help support not just the patients, but their families and carers, ensuring holistic care that embraces the young person’s wider support network—including education and community services.

* A compassionate, proactive nurse who thrives working both independently and as part of a team
* Excellent communication and organizational skills
* A genuine commitment to improving the lives of children and young people
* Willingness to participate in out-of-hours support on a rotational basis
Why Join Us?
At CAMHS, you won’t just be doing a job—you’ll be making a lasting difference in the lives of young people and their families during some of their most vulnerable times. You will receive ongoing support and development opportunities to enhance your skills and career. Together, we create a nurturing and empowering environment where young people can find hope, healing, and a brighter future.
