Job Summary
Do you want to make a difference in the way in which Children and Young People's Emergency & Urgent Care is experienced in Rotherham, Doncaster & South Humber? Would you like to take up a rare opportunity to join a team committed to developing your knowledge and clinical practice in a supportive environment in order to progress to become a competent Band 6 Crisis Practitioner.
We are currently recruiting enthusiastic and motivated clinicians to RDaSH\'s CYP Crisis Team. These dynamic team members will form part of our multidisciplinary team and will play a key role in the implementation and delivery of the service. Successful applicants will be part of the established CYP Crisis Team and will be supported by Band 6 Practitioners and Band 7 Clinical Leads.
