Overview
The CAMHS Single Point of Access teams in the Black Country are continually being developed to meet the increasing needs of the service and population we serve. The service centralises the management of all incoming referrals for young people with emotional well-being and mental health needs across the Black Country, covering Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton boroughs. We are excited to offer an opportunity for an experienced practitioner to join our friendly and diverse team as a CAMHS SPA Practitioner. We welcome applicants from a range of registered professional backgrounds. For a detailed job description of the CAMHS SPA Practitioner position, please refer to the attached Job Description Document.
The salary range quoted is as per NHS Agenda for Change pay structures. This is based on the number of years\' working directly within the NHS at the advertised pay band. Experience gained with other NHS Trusts will apply, but candidates without prior experience working direct for the NHS would normally be appointed at the lowest point unless they can demonstrate the equivalent experience and then be eligible for incremental increases in future years.
About the Trust
Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust provides specialist mental health, learning disability, and community healthcare services for the population of the Black Country. Across the whole of the region we provide:
* Adult and older adult mental health services
* Specialist learning disability services
* Mental health services for children and young people
* Community healthcare services for children, young people and families in Dudley
Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust was formed on 1 April 2020, with the merger of Black Country Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and Dudley and Walsall Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust. Combining resources, strategies and talented workforce enables us to deliver a wider variety of outstanding services that are based on best practice and are continually improving.
We currently employ over 3,500 people and, like the population we serve, we are made up of diverse cultures and backgrounds. Whatever your role, working in an NHS Foundation Trust is demanding and rewarding. Our Trust runs on a shared desire to help and support people, and our vision is to improve health and wellbeing for everyone, especially our colleagues, to achieve the best possible work/life balance.
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
We are committed to equal opportunities and providing opportunities for flexible working and are a non-smoking organisation. We actively promote Anti-Racism, Disability Inclusion, and LGBTQ+ Equality, and are committed to diversifying our staff team in all areas and at all levels of seniority to better reflect the communities we serve. We particularly welcome and encourage applications from people who belong to minority or marginalised communities, including Black and Asian, Disabled (including hidden disabilities such as Neurodiversity, Mental Health, etc), or LGBTQ+ people.
Disabled applicants have the option of requesting that their application be considered under our Guaranteed Interview Scheme (GIS). Please indicate your intention to apply under the GIS in the relevant section of your application. Regardless of participation, you will be provided the opportunity to request reasonable adjustments to the interview process at each stage of the recruitment process.
Due to the nature of the work some posts may be subject to a Standard Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. Having a criminal record will not necessarily bar you from working with us; this depends on the position and the circumstances of the offences.
