We are looking for a motivated clinician to work within the North Bristol CAMHS team as a Band 6 Mental Health Practitioner on a 12 month fixed term contract. We invite applications from candidates looking for full-time and part-time work (minimum 22.5hrs/week) as there is flexibility in the contract.

We are a service working with children and young people with complex mental health needs. We use the CAPA model of assessment and treatment, which would involve working with a variety of clinical presentations and needs, including: suicidal thoughts, low mood, anxiety, OCD and emerging psychosis, often alongside neurodiversity. We also have a lot of referrals for young people with disordered eating and diagnosed Eating Disorders, and there are opportunities to work within this clinic if this is something you are interested in.

We are looking for a practitioner with a core professional registration (eg. with HCPC or the NMC), including registered nurses, social workers, psychologists, occupational therapists, art therapists and CBT therapists. You may have existing CAMHS experience, or have experience in an equivalent community team working with adults.

North Bristol is an area of significant disparities in health, wealth and access. We are committed to working in a manner which is inclusive and anti-oppressive, and invite applications from staff who share these values.
